Calculating your carbon footprint

An individual's carbon footprint is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that someone releases into the atmosphere as a result of his or her lifestyle. Measuring your carbon footprint is the first step to taking action against global warming and allows you to correct some of your consumption habits.

A few figures about CO2 emission benchmarks:

A one-way trip from London to New York by plane emits more than 1.4 tonnes of CO2;
Six trees can absorb 1 tonne of CO2.

Offsetting your carbon emissions

Selectra offsets all its emissions through the Gandhi project. The company has invested the equivalent of 1905 tonnes of CO2 in the Gandhi project, which accelerates the transition to green energy by supporting wind farm development in India. Carbon offsetting consists of financing an environmental project that reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Reducing your carbon footprint

Many actions can be implemented to minimise your impact on the planet by adopting an eco-friendly lifestyle. One simple habit you can adopt in order to preserve our ecosystem is through recycling your waste. Whether it is plastic recycling, glass recycling or clothing recycling, recycling waste is an essential gesture to promote sustainable development.

Our environmental guides, our eco-friendly advice, and our comparisons aim to understand and explain the change towards a more sustainable society. To name just a few:

What is greenwashing?
What is biogas?
How to save on your electricity bill?

Promoting energy transition

Energy transition is defined as all the transformations of the systems of production, distribution and the consumption of energy carried out in a territory in order to make it more ecologically friendly.

As a result, more and more energy suppliers are offering green electricity. Selectra can help you choose the supplier that best suits your needs.
