Buying Carbon offsets

 

If you are producing an amount of greenhouse gases from a business or perhaps by flying on holiday then a website like gold standard is a place where you can go and purchase some carbon offsets. Websites like cool effect or gold standard allow you to purchase carbon offsets by investing in projects in different countries. Due to the buying power of different countries different projects are worth different amounts. So, you could invest $18 to try and help make efficient and clean cooking for Mozambique low-income households or you could spend $45 on the Nica Forest high impact Reforestation program. for your journey or your project, you can work out how many tons of carbon dioxide emissions you could produce and then you can buy into one of these projects by investing that money per ton of greenhouse gases. offsetting your emissions like this does mean that you are helping needy Projects elsewhere in the world as well as doing your carbon offsets.
