[071] A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO CARBON FOOTPRINTS WITH JO HAND AT GIKI ZERO

Carbon footprints - we've probably all heard the term, but what exactly is a carbon footprint? And why does it matter?
Do I have a carbon footprint?
How do I know what it is?
How do I reduce it?
What do I need to reduce it to?

ALL the questions about carbon footprints!

Luckily in this episode I'm chatting to Jo Hand, co-founder of Giki Zero, an app and website that allows you to easily measure and track your individual carbon footprint.
Because I'm a bit of an eco geek, I've tried out a few different carbon footprint calculators, and whilst they're great for giving a ballpark figure, they don't allow for much nuance, and the only way to really see it come down is to do something really drastic, like go car-free, or move to a smaller house - neither of which are hugely practical right now.
So when I tried out Giki Zero I was geekily excited to see that this is a calculator that does allow us to factor in many of the smaller changes we're making day to day, and to see our footprint shrink!

Jo answers all of the questions above, and many many more, including sharing her top tips for the big impact things we can do to reduce our footprints.
