We’ve been working with businesses to tackle climate change and deliver sustainable development since 1997 to date, we’ve reduced or removed over 100 million tonnes of co2e and improved more than 46 million lives. We deliver some of the largest carbon offsetting programmes in the world we co-founded icroa and are recognised as setting the highest standards in the voluntary carbon market. If you have a complex footprint, are interested in carbonneutral® certification or you know that you will need to offset over 100 tonnes, please get in touch and we can offer you more bespoke support. By offsetting through our carbon footprint calculator you agree to our terms and conditions. ClimatePartner: Your Partner for Climate Action Climatepartner is delighted to support mytheresa, one of the world’s leading luxury fashion e-commerce platforms, as it embarks on an exciting journey to carbon neutrality. The organisation is committed to reaching this target in its own operations and

There are limits to how far the public is willing to go on climate and energy policy, especially when it comes to breaking with fossil fuels, a potential shift that gained increased attention during the global drop in carbon emissions in 2020 that accompanied the covid-19 pandemic. Most americans (71%) continue to say the u. S. Should prioritize development of alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar, over expanding production of oil, coal and natural gas. And there is strong policy support for tougher restrictions on power plant carbon emissions, as well as for higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars and trucks. The carbon tax is an integral part of our suite of mitigation measures and transition to a low-carbon economy. It sends an important price signal to spur emissions reductions, while allowing companies the flexibility to act where it makes business sense. Revenue from the carbon tax is used to support businesses and households in reducing their emissions.

The incoming trump administration is likely to see the greatest revival of environmental ism as a confrontational, grassroots, sometimes radical movement since at least 1970, when more than a million people took part in the first earth day. The vigil at standing rock, which surprised nearly everyone by blocking the proposed route of the dakota access pipeline through traditional sioux lands, was a far cry from the litigation and high-level lobbying that are so much of the environmental movement’s work these days. As courts and lawmakers continue to falter in addressing climate change, with professional climate-change denier myron ebell heading the environmental protection agency’s transition team, and scott pruitt tapped to lead it (pruitt is an ally of the fossil fuel industry and key architect of the legal strategy against president obama's climate policy) and the prospect of public lands opening to expanded mining and drilling, ever more people who believe that environmen

Choose carbon offsetting projects to compensate for unavoidable carbon emissions. Offset solutions carbon offsetting is one way to balance the unavoidable greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions we produce. Our team can tailor a carbon offset solution to align with your brand values and support your environmental outcomes. Treehugger / design by amelia manley carbon offset programs let individuals and businesses offset their environmental footprint by paying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions elsewhere. While this may sound complicated, the programs on our list make it easy by offering user-friendly calculators and seamless online transactions. Plus, these platforms connect users with important projects like reforestation efforts and renewable energy development in communities across the planet. With less reputable programs, there is a possibility that offset funds won’t go to an actual offset project. To protect customers, the best carbon offset programs only work with project

Greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere absorb light, preventing some of it from escaping the earth. This heats up the atmosphere and raises the planet’s average temperature. February 19, 2021 what do co2, methane, and water vapor have in common? if your first thought was “greenhouse gases,” you’d be correct! greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, in a process called the “greenhouse effect. ”1 but how do these molecules actually warm our planet? we’ll start our exploration of greenhouse gases with a single carbon dioxide (co2) molecule. Let’s say this co2 molecule came from the exhaust in your car. From your tailpipe, it drifts up into the atmosphere, diffusing among the other gases. While carbon dioxide is the notorious villain of climate change, methane is actually a much more potent greenhouse gas. The world doesn’t pump out nearly as much of it and its warming effect doesn’t last nearly as long, but molecule-for-molecule it traps 84 times more heat

In order to become carbon neutral, it will not be enough to stop emitting co2, but we will need technology to capture and reuse it, help us to be more efficient, find new ways of generating and consuming energy and create new products from waste. We are currently pursuing new technological developments that will allow us to advance the energy transition in an orderly and sustainable manner: carbon capture, storage and use (ccus) technology, green hydrogen, e-fuels. Additionally, we are exploring other natural climate solutions for reaching net zero emissions by 2050 such as emissions offsetting through reforestation. Technological initiatives for promoting ccus. Carbon capture and storage (ccs) is one proposal to reduce global carbon dioxide , co2, emissions. It is thought to be most applicable to reduce emissions from large-scale point sources, such as electricity generated from fossil fuels, and industrial processes including steel and cement production. In new zealand,

Every one of your staff members will become climate positive. This means you'll be offsetting their entire carbon footprint, including emissions from their home, personal travel, holidays, food, hobbies and more. “we believe that now, more than ever, offsetting has a crucial role to play both for business success and for global greenhouse gas reduction targets,” explains sophy greenhalgh, programme director of the international carbon reduction offset alliance (icroa) which produced the video. “we hope that by hearing about the business benefits of offsetting, others will be inspired to follow their leadership. ”this year’s global climate change negotiations in paris have been unusual in recognising the role that business must play in meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets. Businesses are making a range of pledges and using carbon finance to offset emissions delivers an immediate response and can bridge the gap between internal reductions and meeting meaningful com

The major contributors to carbon footprints are: food, consumption, transportation, and household energy. Food is a major contributor to carbon footprints, and meat in particular is an issue. Livestock is responsible for a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and beef is one of the biggest contributors. One kilogram of beef has the same amount of emissions as driving your car about 160 miles. Completely eliminating meat is not necessary, but reducing meat intake helps lower your carbon footprint. Transportation of foods, pesticide use, and purchasing food out of season also contribute to carbon footprints. Processed foods have higher emissions than fresh food as it includes transportation, production in factories, and additional packaging. Carbon footprints of transport [ edit ] Much of the confusion around footprint s comes down to the distinction between 'direct' and 'indirect' emissions. The true carbon footprint of a plastic toy, for ex
