Emissions from FedEx, the other major shipper, were 15.1 million metric tons in 2017. The U.S. Postal Service emitted about 4.3 million metric tons of CO2 in 2016. (Numbers from both include all mail, including e-commerce and personal packages and letters.)

At 20 pounds of CO2 per gallon of gas, that totals about 11 gallons of gas per person in the US.

At 20 pounds of CO2 per gallon of gas...

A gallon of gasoline weighs approximately 6 pounds.

So how do they reckon it gives off a more than 3X higher volume of waste than the initial product?
