The first step anyone should do to reduce his or her ecological footprint is to be aware of it. For this reason\u00a0you need\u00a0to know how much fuel or energy is spent in every\u00a0activity we carry out. Once you know this, we can calculate\u00a0the volume of CO2 released\u00a0into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">At\u00a0POPSICASE we pay attention to\u00a0the manufacturing process.\u00a0The factory that produces our cases has a monitoring system that\u00a0calculates energy expenditures and, at the same time, CO2 volume, as you can see in this picture taken at\u00a0the factory:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5733\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5733\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5733\" src=\"https:\/\/www.popsicase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Calculadora-de-CO2.jpeg\" alt=\"carbon offset calculator\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.popsicase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Calculadora-de-CO2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.popsicase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Calculadora-de-CO2-300x186.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.popsicase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Calculadora-de-CO2-600x373.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5733\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A carbon offset calculator<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In the first-run of 2.000 POPSICASE units, energy consumption was <strong>2.486 Kw, and the volume of CO2 released,\u00a0795,76.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>The emissions must be captured in another site of the planet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Let\u2019s remember that trees are the lungs of the world and that they emit oxygen through CO2 uptake (photosynthesis is like breathing in reverse).
