co2 emissions

[evoonline]

just watching tv and saw an advert for carbon emissions and wondering that if we use co2 on my local site and fill the bottles in the morning and top up through the day then what kind of affect is this having? not only on the environment but also on the health of people filling the bottles. i dont know if anyone would have any knowledge on this but its certainly something i think about most days (my affect on the environment) .. cheers muchly

also wondering if any site owners have recently switched from co2 to air and if it was a costly change?? im not a site owner myself but work at my local site and my curiousity is running wild at the moment.

Bottled CO2 is usually produced as a by-product of industrial processes, so if it weren't been compressed and then used to shoot little balls at each other it would go straight into the atmosphere anyway. Relax and enjoy the chilli!

When i worked for a paintball company last year, we heard through the grapevine that cogs are turning to make all paintball sites switch over to air and phase out co2.....i believe the idea was still very deep in the embryonic stage and a long way from law but its is out there...

sadly yes.

the will only be able to ban CO2, when they ban fizzy drinks as that produces more .

The carbon emissions produced due to the amount of rain forest cut down every day equates to something like 8 million flights from the US to the UK, or something like that. I read it somewhere...

And 90% of statistics are to do with smoking.

Nah, we all know global warming was made up by the news reporters when they had nothing else to report...


i always suspected something along the lines of industrial re-packaging. With the figures involved, i'd say players flying out to the millenniums would be a far greater burden on our atmosphere than rentals - A single return flight from London to Glasgow produces the equivalent of 486 kg of CO2.
