Why Offset?

The importance of carbon offsetting lies simply in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which have a negative impact on climate change. Carbon emissions contribute to the rising temperature of the earth's atmosphere.

Our everyday activities, like driving, using electricity that may have been produced by coal power, buying products that were shipped by plane or truck, contribute carbon emissions to the atmosphere. Offsetting our carbon contributions is an affordable step in taking responsibility for our emissions

Simply, the money from the purchase of offsets is used to fund clean energy projects. The offsets produced by projects represent an equal amount of carbon that will not be released into the atmosphere.
Sometimes, modern life demands that we drive, fly, and shop. By choosing to offset such activities, we can balance out and even neutralize our carbon contribution.
