How it works
*30 lbs of carbon per pair of running shoes x 1 million pairs of boots rehomed / 2,200 lbs (in a tonne) = 13,636 tonnes of carbon saved (6,852 cars of the road for a year based on 1.99 tonnes per car).
With every 1000 pairs rehomed, we’ll save 13.6 tonnes of carbon – that’s the same as taking seven cars off the road for a year, in terms of equivalent
2900 KWh of energy used each year (medium sized house) = 7.94 KWh per day usage
0.23314 is the amount of carbon emissions generated by one KWh of energy. Per day, (7.94 x 0.23314) a medium-sized home generates 1.85kg of carbon emissions. 1.85kg is equivalent to 4.078 lbs. 30lbs (generated by manufacturing new boots) is equivalent to 13.6kg / 1.85 = 7.35 (days) a week’s worth of energy.
