Carbon Emissions
"Cutting the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is a
problem that must be addressed immediately." Trees for the Future

Calculate Your Carbon Emissions:
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it your score along with the square footage/meters of your studio to us.  Collectively Yoga Studios around the world can demonstrate an effort to reduce negative impacts on planetary elements and beings.  Note: the calculator at Countdown Your Carbon applies also to home users, so please overlook those questions that do not apply to your studio environment.

Why Carbon Emissions?
Carbon emissions is a way to show a collective effort on the part of Yoga Studios to care more for the planet.  In 2006, about 7.1 billion metric tons carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) of greenhouse gases were emitted by the United States alone.   Although we need naturally occurring greenhouse gases to support life as we know it on this planet, human activity has caused an abnormal increase in warming.

Offsets
  • Plant a tree – each tree will absorb one ton of carbon emissions in an average lifetime of 40 years.  Contribute to international tree planting organizations.
    •
  • Reduce jet mileage – save 0.417lb of carbon emissions for each mile not flown. 
  • Have local, instead of international, retreats.
