Go Greener Now using carbon offsetting
Carbon offsetting allows you to become part of the solution to climate change by supporting the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions equal to your carbon emissions.
You can offset your carbon footprint, from activities such as driving your car to work, flying or heating your office. If you choose to offset your entire carbon footprint, that is called carbon neutral.

Carbon offset schemes set a price on the amount it costs to mitigate the harm from emissions. Offsetting does not undo the environmental harm caused but does cut the total amount of CO2 released and adds to business sustainability.
Offsetting your carbon footprint can be more cost effective and practical than many other measures a business can take. However, before you invest in offsetting see what practical steps you can take to save energy and reduce your carbon footprint.
The popularity of offsetting has increased over the past decade, especially since the growing awareness of climate change and global warming.
Some providers give you a calculator to work out your CO2 "debt" and a range of options to neutralise your emissions, your cash is then invested in projects that range from planting trees in England to building wind turbines in India.
Carbon offsetting goes a small way to combating climate change but some critics say that carbon offsetting is not effective and is a distraction which mitigates emissions rather than cutting them.
