Global warming is a concern that is on everyone’s mind — or at least it should be! There are many programs that allow you to calculate just what your carbon footprint is. The
Carbon Advice Group is one of these programs. You can calculate the carbon footprint from your car, house, flights and business. This program also sells carbon credits to offset the amount of carbon dioxide that we are sending off into the air each day.
These credits are then used towards their re-forestation projects, energy efficiency projects, and renewable and sustainable energy projects, specifically focusing on developing countries. Some of their energy projects are focused on hydropower, crop waste power sources (cocnut fronds and sugar cane trash), and wind power.
Carbon Advice Group sells the credits to people to offset their carbon dioxide output and in return, invests the money in carbon dioxide reducing projects. Businesses will get a carbon neutral logo for their letterhead, as well as stickers to display on windows, etc. proclaiming them to be carbon neutral. All users will receive carbon neutral stickers for cars that have been offset.
Beyond selling these credits, this company also has many ideas on how to reduce your carbon footprint. They have many ideas to be greener when traveling, greener living in general, reducing waste, reducing consumption, recycling and home energy saving. Even if you have no intention of buying the credits, their ideas are certainly worth taking a look at in my opinion. This is a sponsored post from the Carbon Advice Group but it is also a cause that I place a great importance on. Regular readers of my blog will know that I only accept sponsored posts from companies that I feel an allegiance with.
