How to do low-carbon tourism?

Low-carbon tourism, as its name implies, is a kind of tourism to reduce "carbon", that is, in tourism activities, tourists try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. That is, based on green travel with low energy consumption and low pollution, it advocates minimizing carbon footprint and carbon dioxide emissions during travel, which is also the deep expression of environmental protection tourism. Change the mode of tourism, advocate low-carbon or carbon-free modes such as public transportation and hybrid cars, electric cars and bicycles, and enrich tourism life and increase tourism projects.

Five elements of carbon emission reduction in tourism industry

Good: Promote walking and cycling. Those who can take the train do not fly, and those who can join the group do not drive. If you have to fly, you must choose the right and reasonable aviation.

Line, try to reduce luggage; If you really want to drive, you'd better fill a car with people to maximize energy efficiency.

Food: Do not use disposable tableware, bring your own water utensils, and do not drink bottled water. Try to eat local seasonal fruits and vegetables, preferably vegetarians.

Sue: You don't have to change sheets and quilts every day, and you don't need disposable items in the hotel.

Buy: Try to barter. Try to choose local products, seasonal products and products with simple packaging.

Tour: arrange the route reasonably, recycle the garbage on the way, and classify the domestic garbage well. Try not to leave your mark in the scenic spot.

Tourism carbon reduction skills

0 1, calculate your carbon emissions.

Carbon dioxide emission of household electricity (kg) = electricity consumption ×0.785

-

Carbon dioxide emission from driving a private car (kg) = fuel consumption increase ×2.7.

-

Aircraft carbon dioxide emissions (kg):

-

Within 200 km = km ×0.275

200 km to 1000 km = 55+0. 105× (km -200)

Over 1000 km = km× 0.139

Carbon dioxide emission of domestic natural gas (kg) = natural gas usage ×0. 19.

Carbon dioxide emission from domestic tap water (kg) = tap water usage ×0.9 1

Carbon dioxide emission of meat (kg) = kg × 1.24.

"carbon supplement" before travel

Calculate the "carbon footprint"

After making a travel plan, we can estimate our "carbon footprint". Carbon footprint refers to the impact of a person's energy consciousness and behavior on nature. Simply put, it refers to an individual's "carbon consumption".

A person's carbon footprint can be divided into the first carbon footprint and the second carbon footprint. The first carbon footprint is the carbon dioxide directly emitted by fossil energy. For example, when people travel by plane, the plane will consume fuel and emit a lot of carbon dioxide. The second carbon footprint is the carbon dioxide indirectly emitted by various products, such as consuming a bottle of bottled water. On the surface, it has nothing to do with carbon dioxide emissions, but in fact it produces emissions during the production and transportation of this bottle of water.

At present, many websites provide a special "carbon footprint calculator". You can calculate the corresponding carbon footprint by inputting some data of your own life. For example, if you enter the website of Shanshui Nature Reserve Center and enter 10 liter of gasoline in the "carbon footprint calculator", it is calculated to be equivalent to 22.5438+04 kilograms of carbon dioxide.

Although there are many versions of most existing carbon footprint calculators, the significance of calculating carbon footprint is that once you know where your carbon footprint comes from, you can try to reduce it.

Hotels on the road are also big carbon emitters, so to compensate for carbon, it is best to stay in green and carbon-neutral hotels first, with little or no carbon emissions.
