Compensate for the emissions of one month of living

Compensate for the emissions of one month of living

As humans, our everyday activities generate emissions that contribute to global warming. Everything from the food we consume to driving our cars leaves a carbon footprint on the planet. We should all strive to reduce our footprint in any way we can. For those emissions we can't avoid, compensating for these through carbon offsetting is the next best thing.

This reward will compensate for the emissions of one month of living* by supporting certified carbon offsetting with the Household Biogas Programme in Sichuan, China.

How are emissions reductions achieved?
This project helps Chinese farmers recycle farm waste into clean energy. This sustainable fuel (biogas) avoids the use of dirtier cooking fuel (coal and wood), therefore avoiding emissions while improving air quality and health of households.

What is carbon offsetting?
Carbon offsetting means balancing the emissions created by an activity, such as driving our cars, by avoiding or removing the same amount of carbon from the atmosphere. This can be done by planting trees or supporting people to build clean energy sources.
