Purchase Carbon Credits
Carbon credits certify the removal of greenhouse gas from the air or the prevention of future greenhouse gas emissions.
Why offset with certified carbon credits?
Carbon Planet believes that three things need to occur (on a mass scale) to resolve the climate change crisis:
- We need to put back the trees that have been cut down. Trees are a mechanism for sucking the current excess of greenhouse gases out of the air.
- Change human behaviour - through Demand Side Abatement.
- Implement alternatives to fossil fuels - renewable energy.
Carbon Credits are a mechanism for making these three things happen in a scale that is planet changing. Walking to work, and planting some trees in your yard won't save the world, but by purchasing certified carbon credits you create the economic mechanism that will save the planet. In this way You Can Be the Change.
Where do offsets fit in your sustainability plan?
Carbon Planet believes that offsets are an important step in a three stage process:
- Recognise: greenhouse gas emissions are associated with everything we do.
- Reduce: your emissions through behavioural change.
- Offset: what you can't reduce today with certified offsets (because the planet can't wait).
