Relating this to carbon emissions is absurd. Your phone’s maximum power consumption is about 25W, of which sensors are a tiny, minuscule fraction. Running your phone at 25W for an entire year would allow you to drive a typical petrol car doing 40mpg for 250 miles on the same energy budget.
Reducing sensor power usage is good, but not for this reason.

*gasoline or diesel. You cannot use petroleum as it needs to be refined.
‘Petrol’ is british for gasoline. No one will be driving around on Vaseline.
Petrol and gasoline are the same thing, it’s just different terminology.
