Our campervans, powered by fossil fuels, will be with us for a few more years. We generate 939 kg of greenhouse gases emissions per person when we drive them 7,000 km. Let's clean this up. Travel safe and responsibly, and download your favorite artwork instantly.
For many trips within Europe, flying is the only reasonable option. As average Europeans, we generate 868 kg of greenhouse gases per person on a flight within Europe. This is the equivalent of a flight from Vienna to Madrid and back. Travel safe and responsibly, and download your favorite artwork instantly.
Long-distance flights emit large amounts of greenhouse gases, yet are usually still the only option for reaching the other side of the world. As average Europeans, we generate 6,314 kg of greenhouse gases per person on an intercontinental flight, equivalent to a round trip from Vienna to San Francisco.

These initiatives support at least three sustainable development goals, including climate action, and are rigorously monitored. Take a look at some of the current initiatives.
Rehabilitated boreholes give 40,000 people clean water, cutting firewood use and the hours women and children spend collecting water and fuel.
Ceramic water purifiers let families stop boiling water over wood fires, cutting smoke exposure, fuel cost, and pressure on local forests.
A large-scale solar plant feeds renewable electricity into the Indian grid, displacing fossil-fuel power generation at scale.
It means making conscious choices before, during and after your trip — choosing lower-impact options when you can, and taking responsibility for the footprint you can't avoid. Clean up your footprint now if you care.
We invest exclusively in Gold Standard certified initiatives. Gold Standard for the Global Goals is an impact standard aimed at ensuring integrity and credibility in climate security and sustainable development initiatives. It provides a framework of methodologies, guidelines, and requirements supported by strong safeguards and principles, enabling accurate measurement and verification of impacts from such initiatives. It was established in 2003 by WWF and other international NGOs.
We use a consumption-based approach for our calculations. Consumption-based emissions refer to the amount of greenhouse gases released due to the consumption of goods and services by end consumers, including both private households and public institutions. This encompasses the emissions across the entire lifecycle of the consumed products and services, including production, transportation, use, and disposal. If you decide to compensate for a campervan trip or a flight, we consider the full life cycle emissions, from production to use and end-of-life.
Yes, in the consumption-based approach, emissions from imported goods, including those imported from China or any other country, are included in the importing country's emissions tally. This means that if a country imports goods from China, the emissions generated during the production, transportation, and possibly the disposal of those goods are accounted for in the emissions inventory of the importing country, not China. This approach aims to attribute emissions to the end consumer of the goods, regardless of where they were produced.
Your contribution is a voluntary sponsorship of a climate project and you will receive an invoice from us; whether it can be treated as a deductible expense depends on the purpose of your journey and your local tax legislation. Often it is.
Taking climate action as a consumer extends beyond merely compensating for carbon emissions; it involves making conscious choices in every aspect of daily life. From reducing waste by opting for reusable products to supporting sustainable businesses and advocating for green policies, individuals can make a significant impact. It's about transforming consumption habits, choosing renewable energy sources, and minimizing the ecological footprint by prioritizing eco-friendly products and services. Embrace a lifestyle that respects and preserves the environment. Join us in this mission at CleanupSocial.com, where every action counts towards a greener tomorrow.
