The term “carbon footprint” is used to describe the quantity of greenhouse gases generated by an item or activity. It is expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (amount of carbon dioxide that would have the same impact on climate change) and has been widely used over the past decade for environmental assessment. The calculation of a […]
The term carbon footprint crops up a lot these days. What exactly does it actually mean? Carbon footprint is a horribly abused phrase, so it’s worth spelling out exactly what it means. When talking about climate change, footprint is a metaphor for the total impact that something has. And carbon is a shorthand for all […]
Everyone should be very worried about climate change. Even the most hardcore sceptics cannot ignore all the things we are seeing and have been seeing in recent years. Rising temperatures and rising seal levels, more frequent and violent storms, earthquakes, melting polar caps. It’s all because of climate change and it’s our fault. We did […]
A great way to offset your CO2 footprint by flying is to plant trees. We have made a calculator to that helps you determine how many trees you need to plant to offset your latest or future travels. All you need to do is to input you travel details, departing airport, number of travelers, destination […]
The best way (for you and me) to combat deforestation is to plant trees. Most of us can’t fit a whole lot of trees into our gardens and if you live in a big city, good luck trying to get permission. That’s why CO2 Living was born, to help combat climate change on a global […]
We at CO2Living know the importance of planting trees. Even with the recent reduction in global pollution due to the corona pandemic, it is important that we use the small headwind we got (at a terrible human cost!) to plant even more trees. Our eco-system is at risk on a global scale and it will […]
One of the best ways to show affection for someone is to do it with a gift and we offer to help the planet at the same time with our plant a tree for climate gift. It’s quite simple really, pick a location to plant a tree and choose an amount, then you enter the […]
Trees clean the air pollution. And Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark. Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce the greenhouse gas effect, all while providing us with clean air to […]
The biggest problem of human being is how to reduce air pollution. Trees absorb odors and pollutant gases (nitrogen oxides, ammonia, sulfur dioxide and ozone) and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark. In the current climate, we’re regularly inundate from all sides about pollution, minimizing our ecological […]
Despite bananas being an important product, only few carbon footprint analysis have been published, and the results have varied depending on the methodology and data: from 324g to 1 124kg CO2e/kg of bananas. The banana is a strong candidate for the ultimate low-carbon food. The carbon footprint of bananas:80g CO2e each480g CO2e per kilo Bananas […]
