Neutralizing our Carbon Footprint
To solve the problem of climate change we all need to take account of our personal carbon emissions and make
continued efforts to reduce them ourselves. But it is impossible to reduce our carbon emissions to zero, no matter
how hard we try. Going carbon neutral by purchasing carbon offsets is a practical and affordable way to do something
about those remaining emissions.
In addition, by voluntarily calculating and assigning a cost to your carbon emissions, you can begin to prepare for
the inevitability of an economy in which carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are regulated and taxed.
Whether you are a business or an individual this is an important step towards managing your carbon emissions
efficiently and identifying potential for reductions and savings.
Why should I offset?
- It's responsible: climate change affects us all and we all create carbon emissions
- It's forward-looking: you will be creating a legacy for future generations, and your company will be better prepared to face future tougher regulations
- It's good for your business: customers favour companies with environmental credentials
- It's easy: just use the carbon

Whether it’s based on conscience, commercialism or genuine care for the environment, most forward thinking businesses
now recognise the issues and are developing strategies to minimise the damage and maximise the
opportunities created by carbon emissions
