Analyze. Reduce. Offset.
With these three steps we turn Rotary climate responsible. From an individual club to the whole country to the whole world. If you want to create change somewhere else, you have to start with yourself first. Imagine saving the climate.
Together we turn Rotary
climate responsible.
How It Works
HOW IT WORKS
CONCEPT / The climate transition will only be successful if we reduce our CO2 emissions together and without hesitation and offset the remaining emissions. With various CO2-reducing projects of our partner MyClimate and Rotary projects, we support the self-healing of the earth.
GOAL / Rotary stands for social responsibility and commitment. This is embodied internationally by countless clubs with a wide variety of projects. The climate also demands a change from us. We bear great responsibility and have the chance to be change makers for not only a future worth living but life-sustaining.
ANALYZE / With our CO2 calculator we can calculate the footprint of our activities, both at individual and overall club level. A few figures are all we need to get a good estimate of of emissions of Club activities, the last or the upcoming Rotary year.
REDUCE / We can always reduce our footprint. Now and every day. In almost every aspect of life we can reduce emissions or even act completely climate-neutral. With the calculator, we can estimate the reduction potential of alternatives and guide our decisions.
COMPENSATE / Human life only works by emitting CO2.We can only "become neutral" when we compensate for the remaining emissions and thus relieve the burden on the earth. On a global scale, we can only reach END WARMING NOW if we successfully implement comprehensive carbon offset projects. It is down to us to help the earth regenerate. And we need to start NOW. Through Rotary projects (Link Solvatten, Link Moorprojekt) or our Partners.
GETTING STARTED / We offer clubs an easy way to start by analyzing and reducing their emissions. In cooperation with the globally recognized non-profit Swiss foundation myClimate we make the next step towards compensation transparent and uncomplicated!
THE CALCULATOR
Our vision becomes reality with our CO2-Calculator - regularly updated by myClimate. At any time at any place you can assess emissions of past or future Club’s activities and potential for reductions in 5 areas! Click on the image and try it out.
1
Provide general information about your club.
2
Add details of your regular events that take place in person. (Average values for event rooms, individual mobility and catering)
3
Add optional details for online meetings.
4
Would you like to enter details of events that differ from regular meetings in person? Enter them here.
5
The last step: Enter details of your club trips. (Average values for individual mobility, accommodation and meals)
The calculator then determines the annual emissions caused and provides direct options for offsetting them.
Use the results as an impetus to discuss the next steps with your club. You can reduce your emissions by taking action or by directly using the options suggested by the calculator!
A BIG THANK YOU TO
OUR CLIMATE PIONEERS
We would like to thank our Climate Pioneers and Founding Clubs. They made the financing of our very own Rotary CO2-calculator possible!
Each Climate Pioneer or Founders Club has invested €500 in our calculator and the future of our planet. Best of all, by investing in our project, 4 tons of CO2 were automatically offset!
