Greendex
Greendex is an online carbon footprint calculator that offers the final number of the CO2 produced on the Erasmus + project and transforms this number to the number of the average trees that will absorb our CO2 in their lifetime.
Aims of the tool
Erasmus+ programme enables us to have amazing learning adventures with inspirational people from different countries. However, each of our personal gatherings contributes to a deep carbon footprint due to our travelling and living habits. The purpose of this project was to offset our carbon footprint on the projects we make by bringing more awareness and more action to change our habits. For this reason, we have created a carbon footprint calculator that is specialized for Erasmus + projects such as youth exchanges, training courses, meetings etc. This calculator offers the final number of the CO2 produced by each participant and transforms this number to the number of the average trees that will absorb our CO2 in their lifetime. Our calculations are based on scientific research done by different professionals. We did not make our own calculations.

Description of the tool
Project Greendex was born out of love for nature and necessity to contribute to the more sustainable future. Project was constructed as a KA2 – Strategic partnership within Erasmus+ programme and funded by Slovenian National Agency MOVIT. In this project, we made extensive research about sustainability and created a Library for future study. We created creative Tips and Tricks for people to practice in their daily life and for youth organisations to implement at their work. We created educational sessions to be used on mobilities to bring awareness and to offset our carbon footprint. We have also created a carbon footprint calculator, specialised in Erasmus + reality. We invested to Erasmus+ forest, where trees are being regularly planted. We researched, learned, shared, tested, and planted for us, for you and for the future.
