How we calculated this

Calculation methodology

The emissions of 0.036 kg (36g) of CO₂ per hour are calculated based on streaming in HD quality. This includes both data transmission and device power consumption.

74,080 kg ÷ 0.036 kg = 2,057,778 hours of Netflix (or cat videos)
Our forest captured: 74.08 tonnes CO₂
Emissions per hours of Netflix (or cat videos: 0.036 kg CO₂
