Fix What You Got CO2 Calculations

Fixing things rather than throwing them away could save at least around 9.73 kg CO2 per item (see here for full calculation and assumptions).

The CO2 values in the slider have been averaged over a month, and split equally over the four data points, calculated as follows:

Q. How often in the last 6 months were you able to fix something instead of throwing it away?

Endpoints:

Never - 0 kg

Always (fixed 5 times or more) -  (9.73 x 5 times) / (6 months) = 8.11 kg CO2

Midpoints:

Fixed once or twice - (8.11) x (1/3) = 2.70 kg CO2

Fixed 3-4 times - (8.11) x (2/3) = 5.41 kg CO2
