Today I bought back, or rather compensated, 736 kilograms of carbon dioxide.

Myclimate will compensate the climate effect of my last flights:

«Zurich (CH) - Dublin (IE) - Zurich (CH)

This flight covers a distance of 2'476 km.
One myclimate ticket costs 27.00 Swiss Francs and compensates for the emission of 736 kilograms of CO2.

In order to save this amount of CO2, a solar collector from the myclimate project in Eritrea must be run for 9 months.»

Well, this smells a bit like good old catholic indulgence selling ("contritio cordis, confessio oris, satisfactio operis"), but after all there's nothing wrong with a healthy bit of idealism, I guess. 736 kilograms sounds like a whole lot of CO2, after all.


By the way: If you're a reader from Fribourg you most probably know what missionary made me do this ;)
