Ideas to reduce your footprint
Choices that change the number, with the figures behind them.
1. Travel by train or bus
Where you can, take the train or bus instead of flying.
2. Share a car
A car's footprint is counted per vehicle, so every passenger lowers each person's share.
3. Keep choosing plant-based meals
Every meal on this tour was vegan, which keeps the meals part of the footprint small. A mixed menu would be much larger.
4. Share a room
A room's footprint is counted per room and night, so two people sharing halve each person's share.
5. Offset by planting trees in Croatia
A €1.50 donation to Boranka, the volunteer tree-planting campaign of the Scouts of Croatia, plants a real tree. On average, a tree absorbs approximately 12 kg CO₂ per year over its lifetime (an estimate from the Scouts of Croatia).
The full method, with every emission factor and source, is on the methodology page.
