What is carbon offset ?
Click to expand/toggle
Even if you are pro-active against climate change, it is sometimes difficult not to emit carbon dioxide. You may need your car or to take plane for personal or professional matters and there is no other means available. Carbon offset is the solution to this problem. It means if you cannot reduce your amount of carbon dioxide for some of your activities, you offset it by sponsoring project of energy efficiency or tree plantations around the world. These projects are mainly located in developing countries because the impact is more important than if it took place in Europe. Carbon offset is only a part of the solution that will be valid if it is integrated into an environmental friendly way of life.
Treedoo offers you such services and will help you with advice and recommendations to achieve.
