With the constant stream of seemingly apocalyptic news regarding climate change, how many times have you felt like nothing you do could ever make a difference? We're all going to drown in the eventual floods anyway, right?

Well, stop there, because choosing a camping holiday in the UK over a (bank-busting) foreign holiday this year would actually make a HUGE difference, especially if lots of us decided to do it. But don't forget, it isn't just about saving the planet, our mission here at Beach Campsites UK is to show you just what this country has to offer in the way of spectacular beaches, just begging to be camped on by your lucky selves!!!

Calculating the Carbon

Firstly, use the carbon calculator below (may take a moment to load) to work out just how many tonnes of CO2 are produced from the flight you might be taking this summer:

Next Step

Now, the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the average long distance car journey in the UK (61.3 miles, return trip: 122.6 miles) is:
0.270 x 122.6 x 1.61 = 40.86kg CO2 (where 0.270 = kg CO2 produced by a car of unknown fuel type per km, and multiplying by 1.61 converts miles into km)

= 0.04086 tonnes

Now use the calculator below to calculate Tonnes of CO2 from flight  -   0.04086 =

So, What Are You Waiting For?

Pick up your bucket and spade, grab those speedos and head to one of the many beautiful beach campsites around the UK. You won't regret it!
