Welcome! We invite you to be green!




Flying for A Healthy Environment...

Do you want to see how environment-friendly we are? To start with, we calculated the carbon emissions of our participants to the Copenhagen seminar 'A Healthy Environment - A Fundamental Human Right'.
We considered only the impact of flying and reached the following result :
37 participants from all over Europe let into the atmosphere 11.3 tons of CO2

There's a list of the carbon emissions, as calculated by www.carbonfootprint.com , for the main flight routes of our participants to Copenhagen from :

Lisbon - Berlin - Hanover - 849 kg !!!!!! Congratulations to the winner :-D
Athens - 608 kg
Istanbul - 573 kg
Sofia - 466 kg
Belgrade - 377 kg
Milan - 330 kg
Budapest - 288 kg
Zurich - 275 kg
Helsinki - 252 kg
Talinn - 252 kg
Riga - 250 kg
Ljubljana - 250 kg
Vienna - 246 kg
Vilnius - 245 kg
Brussels - 217 kg
Amsterdam - 214 kg
Brussels (return Warsaw) - 203 kg
Berlin - 123 kg

The aforementioned quantities are for return routes!
In another post we will be calculating how many trees each of our participants has to plant, in order to offset their emissions :-D
