Carbon Detox Plateau: Why Your Footprint Stalls at Day 30
You know that satisfying drop on your carbon tracker during week one? New bulbs, no beef, bus pass. The numbers fall like a stone. Then, around day 30, the line flattens. You're still doing the same things, but the savings stop. That's the plateau. It hits nearly everyone who takes a carbon detox seriously. And it's not your fault. Most of the easy wins are one-time switches. After that, you're left with the hard stuff: the heat in your walls, the miles in your supply chain, the electricity that powers everything you plug in. This article walks through why the plateau forms and which levers actually move past it. No guilt trips, no fake math. Just a clear look at where your footprint stalls and how to nudge it again.
