A slightly smaller carbon footprint
1. Empty the fridge
Do a quick fridge check before you leave. Throw away anything that has expired, eat what you can, or give food away to friends before everyone heads home.
Nobody wants to be welcomed back by a yogurt that has developed a personality of its own during the holidays.
2. Take out the trash

It takes about two minutes to bring the trash out on your way to the
bus or the airport. A clean and fresh-smelling shared space makes coming
home much more pleasant.
3. Lower the temperature to 15°C and close the windows

If you can check off on all three points, you can enjoy your vacation with a clear conscience ❤️
