Carbon footprint calculation in Piliscsba Karbon-lábnyom számítás Piliscsabán

GreenDependent Institution, in cooperation with the Piliscsaba-Garancstető Association, calculated the yearly carbon footprints of 21 households during 2020 spring. The project was actually part of a tripartite collaboration sponsored by Daikin. Although this was only a pilot project, it created an important message: components of households’ carbon footprints are different, so unique solutions are needed for their efficient decrease. The components of a household’s carbon footprint consist of six main categories, of which household energy consumption is usually responsible for the largest part. At the end of the program, to present and discuss the results and footprint reduction opportunities, GreenDependent organized a small event with the community of Garancstető, which was combined with a community tree planting initiative.
