Question about CO2 cartridges

Yes it isn't the CO2 inside that matters (would have come from the atmosphere anyway) - it is the refining & forming the metal of the canister. I would have thought that any cyclist that understands how to make a light bike (choose light parts) would understand the concept that this is just one of the thousands of choices you make - and by choosing the more ecologically-friendly ones you can reduce the total impact of your life on the planet. Anyway CO2 canisters weigh a ton and I wouldn't like to crash with one in my back pocket...0

Even if every cyclist used a CO2 canister every day it's still pretty insignificant to the amount of CO2 cars throw out. Something like 225g per Km for a car? 16g for a CO2 canister?
Common sense prevails at last!

And deaths by dangerous drivers pale into comparison compared to cancer. You can always rationalise these things away.
How long does it take to pump up a flat anyway - its always the swapping of tubes/tubs that takes longer.0
