Carbon Neutral Driving
Share
Because cars are a part of everyday life for many green-minded people, buying offsets is a great way to mitigate the impact of your driving. On average, 15% of your annual carbon footprint comes from driving, so imagine what a difference you can make by canceling out your auto emissions. It is important to also be conscious of your driving habits, and cut down when you can. But when you have to drive, its reassuring to know that you are still doing your part to limit your carbon footprint.
Available Offsets (per year):
Hybrid Car = 3 tons of CO2
Hybrid SUV = 4.4 tons of CO2
Small Car = 4.5 tons of CO2
Midsize Car = 5.2 tons of CO2
Large Car or Station Wagon = 6.2 tons of CO2
Luxury or Sports Car = 7.1 tons of CO2
SUV, Pickup or Minivan = 7.1 tons of CO2
- Order the size you want times the number of years you wish to offset
Why We Love It
By purchasing carbon offsets, individuals and businesses can offset their personal climate impact. While the green movement encourages reducing waste and lowering fossil fuel consumption, this is not always possible in our day-to-day lives. Carbon offsets fund renewable energy projects that reduce the amount of CO2 and methane released into the atmosphere. When you can't cut back, supporting these projects balances your own emissions, and contributes to a sustainable future for the planet.
