Introducing Viable Offsetting
'Viable Offsetting' looks at the Combat Climate Change approach to carbon offsetting and includes our own carbon offsetting scheme.
In the same way as we seek to steer a sensible way through the entire climate change debate, so we have created a sensible and reliable carbon offsetting scheme that can be relied on to actually deliver positive results.
The scheme is suitable for everyone - individuals, organisations and businesses - and is one that we believe people can be proud to support.
In this section you will find:
What Is Offsetting?, which is all about the nuts and bolts of offsetting as a concept and how you should use a carbon offsetting scheme.
Offsetting for Everyone looks at why a good quality offsetting scheme can be a good idea for everyone in the right context, while Offsetting for Business looks specifically at the application of offsetting in a commercial context.
How We Offset details our approach to running our own carbon offsetting scheme and what makes it different from many others.
How We Estimate explains how we calculate C02 emissions and the cost of offsetting them, and puts those calculations in the wider context.
And finally, because tree planting has figured so highly in carbon offsetting, we thought we ought to have A Word About Trees.
From this section, you can also click on Calculate Your Carbon and our easy-to-use and realistic carbon footprint calculator will help you work out your personal carbon footprint. Similarly, if you're in business, our Business Calculator helps you work out your business' offsetting requirements.
Air travel is well known as a major source of C02 emissions - for many people, taking a flight is the biggest single thing they'll do to emit C02. The Air Travel Offsets facility is quick and easy to use - so you can offset your flights with just a few mouse-clicks.
And, if you know how much C02 you want to offset, you can simply click 'Invest In Offsetting' which takes you directly to our carbon offsetting scheme.
