Hotels for Trees is a non-profit foundation established in May 2021. Hotels for Trees started in the Netherlands and has rapidly expanded across Europe since 2022. A separate entity has been established for Australia and North America. More than 1% of all CO2 emissions on our planet are caused by the hotel industry and the travel, services, and deliveries associated with it (source). More specifically, 2023 research showed that a single hotel stay can produce as much as 152.2 kg of CO2, depending on the country you visit (source). Fortunately, a growing number of hotels and meeting venues are offering their guests and bookers the opportunity to offset (part of) this CO2 in an accessible and transparent way. This is a welcome development, as there is a growing need for this, especially in the post-COVID-19 world.

In addition to the larger, more well-known Degerseebad with its restaurant, there's another, smaller lido with a kiosk across the street. There, you also have to pay the entrance fee, and then the barrier opens. Here, on the lawn, it's quieter.
