Every day in the UK each of us contributes to climate change through our daily activities – whether it’s driving, working, watching TV, shopping, or taking a holiday. Almost everything we do will affect our carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Your Carbon Footprint represents the amount of CO2 you produce each year. The lower your Carbon Footprint, the smaller your contribution to Climate Change.
When moving home, a typical removal lorry/large van emits up to 1.3 kg CO2 per mile.
So, for a house move that takes place over a distance of 100 miles for example (taking into account the journey to the old property, then the move to the new property and finally the return to the depot), that’s a total of 130 kgs CO2 emitted just for the transport alone.
TSB are committed to Doing What Matters for the Environment and that’s why, for every house purchase mortgage they provide, they have asked for us to plant a tree across our national sites. You can find out more about TSB’s work here.
