equivalent CO₂ offset by our 74.08 tonnes captured

How we calculated this

Calculation methodology

This calculation estimates the CO₂ emissions for standard definition video calls between 2-10 participants, with an emission rate of 0.6 kg per hour.

74,080 kg ÷ 0.6 kg = 123,467 hours of video calls
Our forest captured: 74.08 tonnes CO₂
Emissions per hours of video call: 0.6 kg CO₂
