Where the numbers come from

A big source of your carbon footprint is any flights you’ve taken.
Just google the distance to the place you flew and use our calculator to get an airline specific value of the CO2e emitter per person, and more importantly, get the outcome in context!
(What is CO2e? Find out here).
Flight emissions data by year based on this LSE report. Different airlines are committing to reducing their emissions at various rates.
Plane classifications based on this website.

Equivalents

Per plastic bag carbon equivalent of 0.0150 kgs taken from Mike Berners-Lee’s seminal book ‘How Bad are Bananas’.
An average tree can capture 25 kgs per year according to this report. Divided by 365*24 to get a representative absorption per hour of 0.003 kgs CO2e.

Next Steps

We intend to aggregate people’s answers (no personal data of course) so we can understand averages for everyone who uses our calculator. We will then be able to tell you how your flight’s footprint compares to other people’s.
