Did you know? 

The average carbon footprint of an American is a whopping 50,000 lbs. (24 metric tons) of CO₂ yearly.

What is a Carbon Offset?

A carbon offset is a financial instrument aimed at a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon offsets are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO₂e) and may represent six primary categories of greenhouse gases. One carbon offset represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
