Our
CarbonCounted
label shows that a load of laundry washed and dried at the Beach
Solar Laundromat has a carbon footprint of 1.7 kg.
One
factor that went into calculating our footprint is the electricty
we use. It comes from Bullfrog Power,
100% generated from renewable sources such as run-of-river hydro
and windmills.
How big is the carbon footprint of other laundromats? Maybe we'll find out soon. CarbonCounted is a new grass roots carbon labeling initiative. The value shown on a CarbonCounted logo is the amount of carbon dioxide that was released into the atmosphere in order to make and ship that particular product or service.
