How do we offset your business's Carbon emissions?

Planting Trees

Tree planting is one of the most common form of carbon offset. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen and wood, both of which are very useful for humans and other animals. At Plant 4 The Planet, we sponsor the planting and maintenance of  trees in the UK and around the world.

Retire carbon dioxide credits

At Plant 4 The Planet we can purchase carbon dioxide credits from a Climate Exchange program. These carbon credits are the result of energy reduction projects over past years, which are then sold on to organisations that have not been able to reach their targets. By purchasing carbon credits and not using them, they are retired so no other person or organisation can buy them - thus offsetting your carbon footprint.

Donate energy efficient technologies

Another form of carbon offset, which is becoming more common, is supplying technologies, such as low energy light bulbs to worth while projects in developing countries. Your carbon footprint is effectively offset, since you have cause a reduction in carbon emissions elsewhere in the world.

Invest in Sustainable Technology Development

There are many sustainable technologies which are worth supporting either through donations or investment. These include:-:

• renewable energy (wind, wave, solar, geothermal, benign hydro, biomass)
• biomass fuels
• waste to energy projects
• recycling
• super efficient vehicles
• etc.
