We offer you the option of reversing the CO2 emissions of your trip by paying the amount indicated below and thus contributing to the following reforestation project in Donostia / San Sebastián.
Import to offset:
The carbon footprint obtained through this calculation is an indicator reflecting the greenhouse gas emissions impact of visiting the city of Donostia.
With this calculator, as a visitor, you can measure this impact in a simple and convenient way.
The data provided is an approximation of the pollution percentage generated by the trip, as we only use transportation and accommodation indicators, though these are the two indicators with the highest impact in tourism.
This way, the calculator is user-friendly and helps raise awareness of this issue.
Here are the calculations performed:
We can use different transportation methods for our trip, and the following are used as references, providing an average of kilograms of CO2 equivalent per passenger and kilometers traveled:
The choice of resting place also provides other averages, differentiating between different types of accommodation. The calculations are performed using the same metric, kilograms of CO2 equivalent per trip and overnight stays:
If you want to know the source of the data and learn more about the impact of carbon emissions, we invite you to visit the following information sources:
It is a way of representing the total emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) by converting them into this single measure through a conversion that considers the gases’ mass and heat-trapping capacity.
The emission of 1 kg of CO2 is equivalent to activities like traveling 13 km by metro.
