What is a carbon footprint?

Like any activity, holidays have an impact on the environment, biodiversity and generate greenhouse gas emissions (CO2)!

The carbon footprint corresponds to the quantity of greenhouse gases emitted by a person, business, product or activity, expressed in carbon equivalent (CO2e).
Greenhouse gases naturally present in the atmosphere and have enabled us to obtain a temperate climate so far. But, Human activities, using massively the fossil fuels, increasing their agriculture, participating in deforestation, building their buildings ; increased these emissions... This increases the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere and leads to what is called the Climate change.

Good news! We have different levers for optimize our footprint. Also, on maeva.com, we offer you the "carbon calculator for your vacation rental " In a few clicks, calculate the footprint generated by your holiday and discover possible solutions to improve itwith new habits to consider.

What are greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) are gases present in the earth's atmosphere. They form an “insulating layer” that traps the sun's rays and stabilizes the planet's temperature at an average of 15°C .

Some gases occur naturally in the atmosphere, and others have been created by humans. Since 1950, the presence of natural gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), has been increased by our activities (transport, heating, air conditioning, factories and animal breeding). This has the effect of increasing the thickness of the “insulating layer”, trapping the heat present on the earth's surface and therefore increasing the average temperature of the planet by 1.2°C. That’s a lot of 1.2°C! When the planet warms, extreme weather phenomena such as storms, droughts, heatwaves, fires, etc. are accelerating. This is why the Paris Agreement (international treaty on global warming adopted in 2015) set the increase limit at 1.5° - 2°c and every half a degree counts!

To prevent the temperature of our planet from increasing, we must significantly reduce our GHG emissions!

Why is it important?

  • Realize

    Calculating its carbon footprint helps to understand the environmental impact of its activities. This can encourage everyone to adopt new behaviours.

  • Improve your impact

    You can identify areas of your life where it is possible to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it possible to target the actions to be implemented to reduce its impact.

  • Be proud of your choices

    By taking steps to reduce your carbon footprint, you can feel proud of your choices and actions.

  • Share your experience

    Sharing your vacation experience with your loved ones means showing that travelling differently is possible! It is to participate in the dissemination of behaviours compatible with the preservation of our planet.
