Description
What we find interesting:
The "Klimaat op reis" (Climate-Smart Travel) tool from Milieu Centraal shows that a flight to Bali for a family of four produces approximately 12,000 kilos of CO₂ emissions.
For comparison, a two-week camping holiday in France produces approximately 480 kilos.
By traveling differently, staying overnight, and choosing your destination wisely, you can make your holiday much more climate-friendly.
