A climate Neutral publication
The production and transport of each copy of this booklet has
released about 0.4 kilogram’s of CO2-equivalent into the
atmosphere. This is about the amount of CO2 released when
driving an offroader (burning 14 litres per 100 km) for 1
kilometre. Factors taken into consideration for this calculation
are paper, printing and energy consumption of office and
computer use and shipping of the final product. The use of
sustainably produced paper and plant-based
ink helped to lower the climate impact.
In order to compensate for the total amount of 3.5 tonnes of CO2
eq generated by the project, we purchased the according amount
of carbon offsets with the help of the Swiss foundation
myclimate. The
money (84 EUR) will be invested in a Gold Standard project.
