TO MAGAZINE

This magazine was created as part of the Erasmus+ project "Schule macht Nachhaltigkeit - Nachhaltigkeit macht Schule/ A lesson in sustainability: Make your school greener and yourself too" (2020-1-DE03-KA229-077458).

It was part of the preparation of the 2nd short-term exchange of groups of pupils, held at the Geniko Lykeio Paralias from October 3-7, 2022.

The students communicated via social networking and exchanged information about their cities and countries. They posted their work on an online board (padlet) and presented it at the official opening of the mobility in Patras.

Enjoy!

What is the ecological footprint of your trip?

The ecological footprint is a method promoted by the Global Footprint Network to measure human demand on natural capital, the quantity of nature it takes to support people or an economy. It tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system. It is a measure of human impact on the environment. As for transportation, transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Transport can be one of the largest segments of an individual’s carbon footprint.

Using a bike instead of a car for short trips would reduce your travel emissions by ~75%. Taking a train instead of a car for medium-length distances would cut your emissions by ~80%. Using a train instead of a domestic flight would reduce your emissions by ~84%.
However, there can be wide variation in emissions depending primarily on a) the length of your trip, b) the source of electricity in your local grid, c) the occupancy of public transport and d) in the case of driving — your vehicle and number of passengers. Taking a flight or driving alone are the most carbon-intensive options. Between the two, which is better depends on the distance travelled. If you’re travelling moderate distances, then flying has a higher carbon footprint than a medium-sized car. If the distance is longer, then flying would actually have a slightly lower carbon footprint per kilometer than driving alone over the same distance.
