Why and how does Future Planet count carbon?
BBCWhy and how does Future Planet count carbon? Getty Images Future Planet encourages its reporters to dig out stories in their local area, and to use low-carbon transport when they need to travel further afield On all Future Planet stories, you'll see an estimate of the carbon it took to report and publish that article. That’s why each Future Planet story carries a figure estimating the carbon emissions associated with creating it. We start by breaking each story’s carbon footprint down into two parts: carbon emissions from reporters’ transport for the story, and the emissions from the digital infrastructure needed to publish it. If we do, should we count the carbon emissions from the large number of energy-hungry servers housed in the building, or is that irrelevant as they don’t host Future Planet?
