Dump ¼ Tonne Of Carbon Today

Reviewed: 13th November 2008

Carbon Reduction Gift PackEveryday things we do contribute to the global pollution and climate change issues which is having a huge impact on Planet Earth.

In order to reduce the amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere we need to fully understand our personal impact on greenhouse gas emissions, allowing us to change our habits that, when combined, can make a real difference.

In addition to changing the way we live, we should also be investing in a CO2 reduction scheme, helping reduce our carbon footprint by a quarter of a Tonne.

Carbon credits are generated by supporting projects which reduce global carbon dioxide emissions these pollute the planet and are the most likely cause of climate change.

Hug A Tree Then Jump On A Plane

Reviewed: 12th November 2008

Hug A Tree Then Jump On A PlaneMention anything about becoming greener and holidays in the same sentence, and people’s eyes glaze over. Sadly scientists predict that air travel alone will account for all of Britain’s CO2 emissions target by 2050.

Responsible Travel are the leading ethical travel directory with over 3000 hand picked holidays from 270 of the world’s specialist operators offering holidays that minimise cultural and environmental damage.

Since 2001, Responsibletravel.com have been handpicking holidays that make a real difference to local people and the environment. They were the first people to link up travellers and responsible operators and places to stay in this way, and still offer the largest selection of responsible holidays anywhere on the web!

To date, only 7% of us have paid anything towards minimising the impact of our travels by purchasing a tree, to help with a carbon-offsetting scheme. However as the impact of global warming becomes more apparent in years to come, the pressure will grow on us, the travelling public, to take greener holidays.

100% CO2 Free Motoring

Reviewed: 6th November 2008

Together with their offsetting partners (including The Carbon Neutral Company) Ibuyeco make it easy for policy holders to balance the CO2 their cars produce by investing money to projects which save the equivalent amount of CO2 elsewhere.

For every 1kg of CO2 produced by their cars each year Ibuyeco will pay for 1kg to be saved by a climate friendly project somewhere else in the world - one balancing the other to make your driving carbon neutral!

The offset continues for the duration of the car insurance policy, based on the information supplied to them, making Green Car Insurance a real alternative. You’ll get that warm fuzzy feeling you get inside from knowing you’re doing your bit to help fight climate change.
