LESSON 1 · Live Greener Without Going Crazy
What Drives Your Footprint
Not all emissions are equal. Transportation and housing together account for over half of personal emissions, so that is where attention pays off most.
Flying stands out. One round-trip transatlantic flight can add more than a tonne to your yearly total in a single weekend.
Online calculators estimate your footprint in minutes, but precision matters less than understanding relative scale. Knowing that driving produces far more emissions than recycling helps you prioritize.
