How to calculate your travel carbon footprint
Not only can you calculate your daily emissions, but you can also calculate them for a vacation or event. To better understand the process, we produced this guide on travel-related carbon emissions.
We'll look at how to calculate your footprint for housing and transportation, as well as how to buy an offset and which services are the most reliable.
A nonprofit organization called Sustainable Travel International says tourism contributes to 8% of global carbon emissions.
A carbon footprint calculator may calculate your daily and travel emissions.
These calculators consider travel's average carbon emissions. According to Sustainable Travel International's calculation, a person emits 0.14 to 0.55 kilos of carbon per kilomete.
