Carbon offset your Carbon Footprint
1. Measure, reduce, offset
Climate change is a challenge facing every one of us. Our responsibility starts with measuring our harmful emissions, or carbon footprint. There's lots of advice available on how to reduce our footprint, but inevitably there's always some emissions left. That's where a carbon offset can help.
2. What is a carbon offset?
A good carbon offset compensates for your harmful footprint by paying for a project to reduce the equivalent emissions somewhere else, for example replacing a coal-fire electricity plant with wind turbines. Because emissions are dispersed throughout the atmosphere, this compensates for the carbon footprint you weren't able to reduce.
3. How can I be sure about my carbon offset?
The majority of carbon offset providers fail to meet the stringent standards required by the UK Government Quality Assurance Scheme for Carbon Offsetting. Whilst many VER carbon offset projects are undoubtedly of an acceptable standard, some are clearly not and the lack of any unifying standard for VERs has made it very difficult for consumers to tell the difference.
4. Clear's approach
Clear is different. We only use Certified Emission Reduction certificates (CERs) for carbon offsets and all our products are accredited with the UK Government's Quality Assurance Scheme for Carbon Offsetting. This ensures that every kilogram of carbon offset purchased is actually achieved.
5. Finally!
Clear also provides a more enjoyable carbon offset experience. You can save your carbon footprint on our website, and create your own webpage to share with your friends.
For more information about offsetting, have a look at the government page on carbon offsets - its really helpful.
