Transport, food, consumption… our daily activities consume energy and produce greenhouse gases, too.
In France, each individual emits an average of ten tonnes of CO equivalent2 per year. To achieve the carbon neutrality objectives set by the Paris agreements in 2015 and limit the impact on the planet’s climate, it would be necessary to drop to two tonnes per person.
What we hear a lot is that our daily actions could help reduce this carbon footprint.
But how far can we go? And is that enough?
In this new episode of our video series Plan Bwe are going to meet two people committed to a low-carbon lifestyle, to understand the impact of these gestures, and their limits.
