Carbon Offsetting with Climate Care

Each time we turn on the TV, switch on the cooker, take a flight or drive the car, CO2 is added into the atmosphere. CO2 is a greenhouse gas that is released when fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal are burnt.

Offsetting means paying someone to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere by the same amount that your activities add. In this way you can ‘neutralise’ or ‘balance’ the CO2 added by your activities.

Climate Care offsets your CO2 by funding projects around the world. These can be in:

Renewable energy – this replaces non-renewable fuel such as coa
Energy efficiency – this reduces the amount of fuel needed
Forest restoration – this absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere as the trees grow

Balancing your CO2 emissions in this way makes your activities climate neutral.

If you would like to contribute to Climate Care, we would be delighted to accept a donation on their behalf, or you can go on their website www.climatecare.org and contribute on line. The costs per person vary from around £10-14 per person.
