What does Carbon Neutral mean?

Even if you drive a hybrid car, use compact fluorescent lighting and take every energy saving step you can, you are still going to use some energy and create CO2 pollution.

There’s only one way to do something about the CO2 pollution you can’t avoid creating – help reduce CO2 pollution another way, purchase credits to offset the carbon you create from companies that are developing harnessing natural sources of energy. Essentially you’re donating to a cleaner future by offsetting your emissions today. Click here to learn more

Global Warming Information

The overwhelming majority of scientists agree, global warming caused by waste gases produced by the burning of fossil fuels combined with other air pollutants is changing the world’s climate. Left unchecked, the results of this will be dire and far-reaching. See Global Warming by the Numbers for some interesting statistics.

Glaciers are melting ten times faster than previously thought.
A new scientific study revealed that by summer 2040 -- only 33 years from now -- the Arctic Ocean could be mostly open water due to global warming! CO2 emissions from fossil fuels have more than tripled since the 1950’s and emissions are predicted to double from their current level by 2054 if we keep on our current path.

All this will result in extreme weather patterns, widespread drought and flooding, in increase in insect-borne disease, disruption of species and eco-systems and a host of other problems by the end of this century. Scary stuff! The good news is, we can reduce our emissions to manageable levels using the technology we have available today! Let’s make going Carbon Neutral a reality, starting today!
