It's getting easier and easier to consume, and new technologies are constantly being developed to encourage more consumption.
But do you really know what this means for the environment? Do you know how to calculate your carbon footprint?
You might say: what's the point? I need to anyway. Of course, it's not a question of calling your purchase into question, but of understanding it better by taking all the variables into account and perhaps choosing alternatives.
For example, I live in Paris and need to get to Marseille. Which mode of transport should I choose: car, plane or train? The budget is easy to calculate. Time, even if approximate given the frequent hazards (traffic jams, strikes, incidents, weather, etc.) is also easy to calculate. But am I able to calculate the CO2 consumption associated with this choice, and therefore compare it between the various options available to me?
Nowadays, it's quick, reliable and even fun. There is a whole range of CO2 emission calculators, which you can easily find on the Internet.
At Elma D&P, we use 2 of them to calculate transport emissions, but also for everyday objects and actions.
So at any time we can calculate the carbon impact of restoring a piece of furniture and compare it to a similar new piece of furniture.
The 2 sites are very intuitive. If you need help, don't hesitate to contact us. We're also here to help you make the right choices.
