Two small avocadoes have a carbon footprint of 846.36 grams, almost double the amount of a kilogram of bananas. One avocado takes nearly 230 liters of water to grow, a orange needs about 50 liters. The lucrative nature of avocadoes has also attracted drug cartels. Restaurants around the world are starting to turn away from using avocadoes. They may taste good but they are not great for the environment.
