BeePathNet acting green enabled a one day “holiday” to at least 7.333 trees
Edited on
08 November 2019Just by being creative in meeting organisation on system 3 in 1 we »saved« one workday on carbon dioxide emissions for at least 7.333 trees.
Let us explain. 3 in 1 meeting - our first partnership meeting on Biodiversity took place for two days in Hegyvidék, Hungary. After that, all of us travelled by bus to Poland and had bilateral meetings and activities on capacity building on the road. After seeeeveral hour of interesting discussions, we arrived in Bydgoszcz, Poland and for another two days, we discussed Education in relation to urban beekeeping. So, instead of 20 persons travelling back and forth three times, we did it just once.
And meeting the CO2 footprint??!! As we are curious brainy bees (also a part of our Newsletters) we made calculations but just for the bus ride for travelling from Hungary to Poland. Taking a bus emits 0,03 tonnes of CO2 of emissions while taking an airplane would emit an unimaginable 0,44 tonnes. Based on this we calculated that 7.333 trees got 1 free day of work on retaking CO2 emissions into the biomass.
P.S.: it did not happen because Ljubljana also joined the European Mobility Week, it is who we are Ljubljana European Mobility Week 2019
P. S. 2: detail calculations are available by request
