What is carbon offsetting?
A Carbon Offset is generated by an activity that either prevents the release of, reduces, or removes GHG emissions from the atmosphere. Carbon Offsetting is a great way to compensate for your release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by helping to fund emission savings in other parts of the world. You may wonder how much you are contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. However, our everyday activities, whether at home, work, or elsewhere consume energy and produce this carbon pollution; like driving, heating our homes, or flying.
There are a number of emission reduction projects around the world which generate carbon offsets from activities such as renewable energy, biogas and reforestation. Co-benefits of projects include improved economic, social and health for local communities. Aside from just helping the environment, carbon offsetting is also benefits education, employment, and food security for these communities.
We are seriously passionate about striving for a better and cleaner environment which is why we created Trip Analysis. Trip Analysis is here to make it easier for you to offset your overall carbon footprint and helps you in combatting climate change.
How Does it Work?
Carbon offsets are quantified in metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-e) where one tonne purchased equates to one less tonne of carbon in the atmosphere. Makes sense right?
Negating your unavoidable emissions is possible through the purchase of these carbon offsets. Where do we come into this? These offsets can be made by using Trip Analysis as we will plant trees to support you in offsetting. Planting trees around the world works to offset carbon emissions by soaking up carbon dioxide directly from the air.
Some choose to offset their entire carbon footprint, while others opt to offsetting one specific activity, like a flight abroad. You can calculate the emissions of your flight and thus pay to reduce the same emissions elsewhere.
