1 - Our carbon footprint
We calculate our own internal carbon footprint according to the consumption of electricity and water, amount of waste and employee’s transport for each of our agencies.
Zero carbonEvery day, you probably do small things for the planet: sort your waste, limit your water consumption or turn your devices on standby mode.
Now, Shanti Travel is committed to a zero carbon program and fully offsets the CO2 emissions of our agency and your trips by financing sustainable development projects created by NGO partners.
Together we participate in sustainable development for the good of our planet.
We calculate our own internal carbon footprint according to the consumption of electricity and water, amount of waste and employee’s transport for each of our agencies.
We calculate the average of your carbon footprint based on a 12-night / 13-day stay including the hotel, the car ride and a half-plane ride *
*We base the calculation of our travellers carbon's footprint on the average: travel duration (13 days and 12 nights), number of participants (3 people), electricity consumption of a standard hotel room (20m2), daily travel distance by car (150km) and half the distance travelled by plane for domestic flights. The total carbon footprint is 2.15 tonnes which is equivalent to 48.15 € = 1.23 € per day per person. Source:ADEME.
Indexed on European standards, we converted the tonne of carbon into euros (22 euros / ton).
We invest in sustainable development projects
(reforestation, renewable energies, permaculture,
plastic reduction, recycling, etc.) created by NGO
partners.
89 billion plastic water bottles are sold each year worldwide. A plastic bottle takes 450 years to disappear from the surface of the earth. RefillMyBottle provides a simple and sustainable solution to the plastic pollution problem. The concept: Refill my bottle is an application that identifies all the places - cafes, resorts, museums or shops where travelers can enter and fill their reusable water bottle with drinking water, free of charge or at a minimum cost.
