why offset?

To combat climate change and to live a more environmentally conscious lifestyle. As individuals or corporations our daily activities, from manufacturing to cooling our homes and daily travel, produce greenhouse gasses that are released into the Earth's atmosphere. The amount of these emissions required to facilitate our needs determines the size of a personal, family or corporate "footprint". The increasing levels of greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere have been scientifically proven to be damaging to the planet and the species who inhabit it. As greenhouse gasses accumulate they attribute to rising temperatures and tides, decrease of crop yields and other seriously detrimental effects that have an impact on all our lives. When you offset your footprint by purchasing carbon credits, you are investing in projects, technologies and businesses that show leadership in environmental responsibility.
