Carbon Reduction Calculator:
Every one of us is a victim and a "culprit" in the warming of the planet, and we all have a responsibility and an obligation to reduce our carbon emissions. However, every day we have to breathe, surf the Internet, use electricity, ride in the car, all of which can cause carbon dioxide emissions. If we reduce carbon emissions will it affect our lives? To become a low-carbon family, you must learn to calculate carbon emissions
Consumption of 100 kWh of electricity = 78.5 kilograms of carbon emissions = 1 tree
Consumption of 100 liters of gasoline = 270 kilograms of carbon emissions = 3 trees
...... emissions - carbon offset". The calculation of carbon dioxide emissions has given rise to a new term, the carbon footprint. It indicates the "carbon consumption" of a company, household or individual, and is a new measure of the environmental impact of carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the daily consumption of energy by a company, household or individual. The higher the carbon footprint, the more carbon dioxide, the culprit in global warming, and the larger the carbon footprint, while the opposite is true: the smaller the carbon footprint.
In order to maintain ecological balance, the carbon footprint needs to be compensated for, which is now often referred to as "carbon neutral"
Our daily consumption of carbon footprint:
Each refrigerator in the house uses 0.65kg
Each person uses 0.65kg
Our daily consumption of carbon footprint is 0.65kg. KG
Ironing clothes 0.02 KG
Hot shower 0.42 KG
Elevator to go up and down one floor 0.218 KG
Turning on the air-conditioner for one hour 0.621 KG
Watching TV for one hour 0.096 KG
Listening to radio for one hour 0.006 KG
Listening to stereo for one hour 0.034 KG
Carbon footprint of our daily consumption. hour 0.034KG
Turning on energy-saving lamps for one hour 0.011KG
Turning on tungsten bulbs for one hour 0.041KG
Turning on fans for one hour 0.045KG
Using laptop computers for one hour 0.013KG
Driving a car for one kilometer 0.22KG
Biking a motorcycle for one kilometer 0.055KG
Every ton of water used 0.194KG
Every cubic meter of natural gas used 2.1KG
Ride a high-speed train one kilometer 0.05KG
Ride a bus one kilometer 0.08KG
Apply one kilogram of charcoal 3.7KG
Eat out one bento 0.48KG
Throw a kilogram of garbage 2.06KG
Eat a kilogram of beef 36.4KG
Buy a T-shirt 4KG
Carbon offset:
Planting a tree and absorbing carbon dioxide to make oxygen through plant photosynthesis is the only way to compensate for carbon, and a tree that grows for 40 years can absorb 465 kilograms of carbon dioxide per year, and every day on average absorbs 1.27 kilograms of carbon dioxide per day.
Based on the above data, we can calculate the carbon footprint and the corresponding carbon offset needed based on different daily electricity consumption, water consumption, gasoline consumption and meat consumption
Maybe the data is different for each person, but the average amount of trees planted per day to offset the carbon offset needs to be no less than 50 trees per day. Given our current level of energy consumption, carbon offsetting is a drop in the bucket when it comes to sustaining our ecosystem
We need to live a low carbon lifestyle that minimizes the amount of energy we use in our daily lives and reduces our carbon dioxide footprint
We need to live a low carbon lifestyle.
