How to be Carbon Neutral & Green
Creating a clean environment while maintaining daily energy consumption is possible. Our carbon offset programs allow you to create a clean environment and make money at the same time!
Offsets are being used to neutralize the pollution by businesses and individuals for activities like driving, flying, or cooling or heating their homes and offices.
RECs are Renewable Energy Credits. Green energy providers are credited with one REC for every 1,000 kWh or 1 mWh of electricity it produces. The average residential customer consumes about 800 kWh in one month. When an REC is produced, it is given an unique identification number. Green energy is then fed into the electrical grid, and the accompanying REC can be sold on the open market.
If you drive the yearly U.S. average of 12,000 miles, you are using roughly 500 gallons of gas a year and sending up to 10,000 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere for a medium sized company. It only takes approximately $50 to offset 10,000 pounds of CO2.
Yes, you can neutralize your CO2 emissions with a single or monthly payment that is used in projects that clean up the environment. Many offset providers plant trees to help neutralize CO2 emissions.
Renewable Energy Certificates help start and fund alternative energy projects.
