How Carbon Offsets Work

We are all responsible for climate change and we all must be part of the solution. Carbonfund.org makes it simple for anyone, or any organization, to reduce and offset their carbon emissions. How does it work? Follow these simple steps that take you through the process:

1. Reduce What You Can, Offset What You Can’t.™

The first step is to reduce your carbon emissions wherever possible. There are many cost-effective energy saving and carbon reducing opportunities anyone can take. To learn more, see our Save Energy section.

2. Calculate Your Emissions or Select an Option, and Contribute.

Use our carbon calculator to figure out your carbon footprint or choose from one of our preset options. If you don’t see what you need, or have a special footprint in mind (an organization, business, event) contact us. Contributions are tax-deductible.

3. Carbonfund.org Offsets Your Carbon Emissions.

Carbonfund.org supports carbon-reducing projects such as renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation projects. In fact, you get to choose. For more information about carbon offsets, see our What Are Carbon Offsets? and Our Projects pages.

Yes, it is that simple. There are lots of nuts and bolts in the background, but that is why we started Carbonfund.org – to make it simple and affordable for individuals and organizations to have an impact on climate change now. As in soon. Today. So our children have a healthy world to live in. (You get the idea...)
