Without seeing numbers, what does this mean? What kind of carbon footprint does a streaming ad leave? Did she take into account that they have to compress an HD video to an SD video? Granted lowering the grade of the video isn't a very intensive process, but you still have to go through the exercise.

And does the carbon footprint of the distribution of the ad really matter if the carbon footprint of the production of the ad is massive? Is the industry looking at alternatives to traditional production methods? Probably not considering that creative production offers greater margins than media placement.
