Importance of Carbon Offsets

Climate change is a critical global issue threatening our planet. Carbon Dioxide gas emissions from fossil fuels have skyrocketed since the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution thus contributing to increases in average global temperature.

Carbon offsetting and sequestration projects are essential to the planet. Market-based mechanisms, such as carbon offset projects, would help to quickly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Projects also provide other benefits, such as biodiversity protection, flood and erosion control, and protection of indigenous cultures.

Managing your Footprint

There are a range of benefits associated with calculating and managing your carbon footprint:
