It basically caused an instant public revulsion to the facts that were being distributed.
People didn't want to hear about how they affect (even if miniscule) climate change.
Well, now a company called "How good" was developed to literally do the opposite.
Its purpose is to find "facts" about how "Good"™ your choice was, and how you're actually making the planet BETTER by supporting capitalism!

The entire "carbon footprint" model of individualized response to climate change was initially pushed by British Petroleum. It was deliberate propaganda to reduce the movement against climate change to personal consumption choices and implant the idea that the individual would personally have to give up many things they wanted to mitigate climate change.
Lets not pretend that "research into the environmental impact of consumer choices" was anything other than propaganda to redirect the public away from demanding systemic changes or targeting the bourgeoisie. The solution is not to encourage individuals to make better personal decisions, but for the terrible decisions to be removed as options entirely by those with the power to do so.
