    I think CO2 supplied commercially is always a byproduct of some other process, so if it wasn’t being put in capsules it would only be being vented to the atmosphere anyway.
    Morally flawed

    Some CO2 is captured as a by product of other processes such as the production of Ammonia, but a little research shows that the majority of it comes from processing natural gas as a desired product rather than as a by product.

    Thumbs up Co2

    I've just googled How much Co2 does a car produce. The answer came back ( for America) at 22.0 miles per gallon and drives around 11,500 miles per year. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2. So why don't we halve that for the UK. Now the capsule contains 12g very little if these figures are correct so it's miniscule unless some one Knows better. I would say walk or cycle to your shop and you will save more CO2 in the final transport and for heavens sake try not to break wind because methane is a far more potent gas.

    Co2

    Should we stop breathing? I believe humans release approx. 2 tons of Co2 a year through breathing, or maybe we should stop making fizzy drinks, most have Co2 artificially dissolved into the drinks, some alcoholic drinks naturally carbonate while fermenting, I wonder how these facts relate to how much Co2 we use in our air guns, I doubt we use very much.

    Cheers, Lawrie
