I was wondering what to write for Blog Action Day. I decided it would be cool if I could calculate some numbers that showed how we affect our environment in a positive way.

We are 4 and we work 4 days per week remotely.

We do roughly 32.000 kilometers to go to work and get back home, so that’s 32.000 less per year.

Assuming our cars emit 160g of CO2 per kilometer on average.

We emit 5.120.000g less CO2 per year!!!

That’s 5.12 tonnes less CO2 per year!!!

And this is our action for the environment.
