how much CO2* can i offset with tsunamii?



TSUNAMII sells shirts with three different levels of offsets
  • level 5 = a 5% reduction of your carbon footprint, based on the Australian average.
  • level 10 = a 10% reduction of your carbon footprint, based on the Australian average.
  • level 20 = a 20% reduction of your carbon footprint, based on the Australian average.
Australian carbon footprint average
although there are many footprint calculators on the internet, there is no consistency or comparability between these often confusing calculators - therefore TSUNAMII relies on the Australian average carbon footprint.

according to the Australian Government's Department of Climate Change, the average household has a 14 tonne carbon footprint - and as the average household has 2.5 people - it is clear that the average Australian contributes 5.6 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year.

this is equivalent to saying that the scope 1 and 2 emissions per person is 5.6 tonnes of CO2, which (consistent with the logic behind the NGER reporting) is more accurate and appropriate for the purposes of offseting than the 26 tonne per capita number that incorporates scope 3 emissions produced by dirty industries.

when you buy a TSUNAMII product you can reduce or "offset" your average carbon footprint by 5% (0.3 tonnes), 10% (0.56 tonnes), or 20% (1.12 tonnes) - as specified on the invoice.


*CO2 refers to CO2 equivalents, which include the six recognised Kyoto gases, being carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), and perfluorocarbons (PFC). These gases account for around 98% of the environmental pressure leading to climate change.
