Travels

Admittedy I have been blessed/privileged to go on many a trip over the years, here’s all the places these tired feet have stepped on:

Top trips:

• Japan - Its vastly different, but its also very well developed.
• USA - American culture permeates the whole western world, was nice to see some first hand.
• Vancouver Island WWOOF volunteering - Beautiful place, loved working on the little gardens, met lovely people. Dream retirement location.

CO2 and Water

This is my current measurements for my yearly CO2 and Water impact:

Plot of CO2 emitted

Notes:

• 2016 & 2017 only considers Flights
• 2018 only has half a years worth of data on Electrical Energy and gas
• More information on this in this blog post, and the next blog post on the topic.

Assumptions

There are a lot of assumptions here:

• Does not include missed or cancelled flights.
• Flights calculated with ICAO carbon offset calculator.
• No impact factors for height of CO2 emission.
• Diesel: 2.68kg/L, Petrol: 2.31 kg/L, Gas: 2.27 kg/m3, Electricity: 0.53 kg/kwh. Now includes Well-to-tank factors and is taken from the values calculated by the UK Goverment.
• Does not include taxis, trains or other forms of transport.
• Does not include driving and energy usage once at the holiday destination.
• Assumes for the car and motorcycle I was by myself.
