<aside> 💡 High-Level Description:

A modern methodology that has garnered attention in recent years, takes a fresh perspective on evaluating the carbon footprint of diverse sectors, including camping sites. With the rise in eco-tourism and sustainable travel, camping sites have become an integral part of the tourism industry, necessitating a unique approach to understanding their environmental impact. Basic methodology blends advanced data analytics with real-world observations, taking into account variables like site infrastructure, energy sources, waste management, and guest activities.

This method offers a holistic view of the camping experience, ensuring that every aspect, from tent pitches to the use of communal facilities, is taken into account when calculating the carbon footprint. Given the adaptability of SQUAKE's approach, it holds potential not only for individual campsite assessments but also for broader regional and national studies on sustainable camping.
