Offset your CO2 emissions


We all know that we are generating too much CO2 and that it is contributing hugely to global warming. Well now a clever site has set up to allow us to pay into projects that offset our emissions. It is a great idea and very affordable. For instance I am flying to India in April, my being on that flight will generate 2.03 tonnes of CO2, the cost to offset this is £15.22 - not too bad! That money is used to fund solar energy schemes, or tree planting, or many other CO2 negative projects, carefully calculated to equate to my impact. Plus you can do the same for your car use, your home heating, all sorts of things. This is a very worthwhile project and I urge you to use it.... Happy off-setting.
