Mother City Mission
Booked it on a whim. Swapped heels for Havaianas. Grabbed your shades, shot down to Cape Town, and lived it up. But those two hours in the air added up to around 300 kg of CO₂, nearly what a small car emits in a month. Offset it now and keep your travel footprint in check. The penguins say thanks.
How to make meaningful reductions in your travel impact:
- Reduce the number of long-distance trips you take each year and discover local gems instead
- Try combining necessary work travel with holiday rather than making separate trips
- Encourage the use of remote or virtual meetings over in-person, particularly internationally
- Only fly with airlines that commit to emissions reduction targets or SAF uptake
Impact
- 494 kgCO2e (24% of annual carbon allowance)
- Equivalent of driving 1646.67 km - Like driving from Cape Town to Bloemfontein.
What's Covered
- Your trip: Return flight from JHB to CPT (economy)
- Your impact: ~494 kg of CO₂e for the weekend incl. flights, food, accommodation and transport

Carbon Calculations
- Flight: 1,260 km one way × 2 = 2,520 km × 0.168 kg CO₂e/km ( ICAO Domestic) = 423.4 kg CO₂e
- Hotel (2 nights, energy/cleaning): 2 nights × 20 kg CO₂e/night = 40 kg CO₂e
- Food (7 meals, eating out): 7 meals × 3.5 kg CO₂e = 24.5 kg CO₂e
- Taxis/Uber: 10 trips × 0.6 kg CO₂e = 6 kg CO₂e
Total Calculation:
- 423.4kg CO₂e + 40kg CO₂e + 24.5kg CO₂e+ 6kg CO₂e = 493.9 kg CO₂e
- Result: 0.49 tonnes CO₂
