“CO2 footprint” means a total carbon dioxide emission measure that is directly and indirectly caused by human activity. The calculation of THE CO2 footprint is a simple way to show precisely that the lifestyle of society causes carbon emissions and has negative environmental, climate and planet impacts.
THE CO2 footprint can be calculated for any item, service, organization, but can also be calculated for avio flights. The flight has a significant impact on the environment and climate. For example, in Riga - Munich - Riga, we find at least 200 kg of CO2. On the other hand, a family of three people, going to Tenerife or Dubai, is already producing two tons OF CO2. If the airline ticket does not contain carbon dioxide emissions, can use IATA - IATA CO2 Connect Calculator
The world is currently actively working to reduce the CO2 footprint so that the environment is cleaner and the CO2 footprint is smaller. One of the most effective ways to delete CO2 footprint is planting trees. In addition, the planting of trees is not in cuts or places where it has already grown, but by the new generation of forest stands.
The calculation of the specialists of SIA “Riga Forests” shows that the establishment of ten trees and forest stands for 50 years is eliminated by one tonne of carbon emissions equivalent to one avio flight to the warm lands.

In cooperation with the foundation “Riga forest fund”, these funds will be purchased and planted in areas where they have not grown so far.
