Calculate your
Ecological Impact
Our daily activities (transport, house emissions…) are at the
origin of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere & mainly
causing global warming. If we do not take action to reduce
global warming, then climate extremes: extinction of some
species of animals and plants, increased disease and pest
infestations, rising sea levels, changes in water quality…
In the context of Polar expedition "Arctic Calling", I am
committing to reduce & offset my climate impact in collaboration
with CO2logic.
With few elements requested, CO2 calculator will easily measure
at the click of a mouse your CO2 emissions. Help yourself and
those around you to be more aware of the damage we are doing to
our planet. Canceling out your carbon emissions for your car or
fleet of cars, home, office and air travel is your contribution
to the planet and its environment

Let’s improve together our behavior!
CO2 Logic invite us all to apply as much as we can the 10
following tips:
1. Change a light
Replacing one regular light bulb with a compact fluorescent
light bulb will save 67,5 kg of carbon dioxide a year.
2. Drive less
Walk, bike or take public transit more often. You'll
save 300g of carbon dioxide for every kilometer you don't drive!
3. Recycle more
You can save 1,080 kg of carbon dioxide per year by
recycling just half of hour household waste.
4.Check your tires
Keeping your tires inflated properly can improve gas mileage by
more than 3% Every liters of petrol saved keeps 2,4 kg of carbon
dioxide out of the atmosphere!
5. Use less hot water
It takes a lot of energy to heat water. Use less hot water by
installing a low flow showerhead (157 kg of C02 saved per year)
and washing your clothes in cold or warm water (225 kg saved per
year).
6. Avoid products with a lot of packaging
You can save 540 kg of carbon dioxide if you cut down your
garbage by 10%.
7. Adjust your thermostat
Moving your thermostat down 2 degrees could save about 900 kg of
carbon dioxide a year.
8. Plant a tree
A single tree will absorb one ton of carbon dioxide over its
lifetime.
9. Turn off electronic devices
Simply turning off your television, DVD player, laptop and
stereo when you're not using them will save hundreds of kg of
carbon dioxide a year.
10. Cancel your emissions with co2logic and spread the word …
