Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

The original study does show water pollution, even going so far as to split it between acidification and eutrophication.

Good find. Yes, the original study accounts for water pollution, but this chart (conveniently) excludes it.

When you include the water pollution, the impact to the environment are FAR, FAR worse than this chart suggests.

I don't think it's really an "exclusion" to show the relative carbon impacts. A more comprehensive infographic could certainly be made, but there's nothing wrong with a simple one that focuses on a specific topic.

I guess that depends on the definition of “environmental impact”, but you're right about nothing wrong with focusing on a specific topic. 👌
