Save CO2 by active commuting
The calculation is based on the average use of our Backpack Pro and Backpack Pro 2.0 while active commuting (by running, walking, or cycling) 2 times a week for 5 km (one way) instead of driving. If we take the number of running backpacks we sold in 2019, we can calculate that on average we saved 4,673 tonnes of CO2 by promoting the healthier and more sustainable way to commute.
Make your own calculation in a few simple steps!
Use the calculator below to see how much emissions your vehicle produces on a commute. Save that number for the next step.
Look at the photo on the right. You can see how much in kg each step of producing the Backpack Pro took.
Estimated total carbon footprint: 34 kg.
- Take the number from the first test (your daily commute).
- Multiple that number by 104 (if you run 2 a week for one year)
- Then minus 34 kg. (the co2 of the backpack)
Your final number: the Co2 you can save in one year if you active commute only twice a week (one way) instead of driving.
We'd love to get an even better idea on the carbon footprint we are saving and would be very happy if you email us the number you got and we'll send you a discount code of 15% off on our webshop.
