In January 2023, scientists confirmed that the past eight years were the hottest on record, and all signs point to the fact that the trend will continue.Extreme extended heat is dangerous to life on earth for many reasons, amongst them the drought and changing weather conditions that have led to an increase in catastrophic wildfires like this one in 2023 in Chile.
Human activities, like transportation, agriculture, and electricity generation, are responsible for most of the green house gases in the atmosphere over the last 100 years plus ,causing global warming and driving climate change. Its reported that the planet could reach 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels by 2025. Going beyond that threshold means significantly increasing the impacts of climate change, like extreme weather conditions and rising sea levels. Moreover, according to research the current rates of warming will put the earth at risk of crossing several climate tipping points, which could lead to irreversible damage and change the planet forever, The answer is clear to prevent climate change, we need to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, halving them by 2030. In the longer term, 90% to 95% of emissions need to be eliminated before 2050, so we have to act now.
Start to offset your carbon footprint now.
Increased Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) emissions in the atmosphere are one of the biggest causes of global warming and so by offsetting your carbon footprint - with projects to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere, you can balance out your emissions to become carbon neutral. We can make a difference with small changes to our lifestyle – changing our energy provider and usage, changing what we eat, looking at our plastics use and recycling, changing how and when we travel, as well as many others. By becoming carbon neutral, you can offset all your emissions cheaply and effectively - making a positive impact on the climate crisis.
Carbon offsetting can be achieved through a variety of methods,In a single year, an average tree can absorb up to 48 pounds (21.8 kg) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This means that trees can potentially offset a significant amount of human-caused emissions.Trees play an important role in the global carbon cycle and are estimated to be responsible for approximately one-third of the total carbon uptake by land plants. By investing in your own voluntary carbon offsets is a way to compensate for your emissions by investing in projects that reduce greenhouse gases. By offsetting your emissions, you can help to cancel out the environmental impact on the planet.
It is impossible to generate zero-carbon emissions; therefore, offsetting is a viable approach to become carbon-neutral. Offsetting your carbon emissions sends a strong message to your community, that you are committed to paving the way for a sustainable future. The funds from neutralising your carbon footprint will be providing low-carbon technology to communities most at risk of the impacts of climate change.
As becoming carbon neutral or climate positive for companies is soon to become the new trend or new gold, some firms are already seeing further ahead and intend to erase the totality of their historical footprint. Microsoft was one of the first major companies to make the announcement, quickly followed by Google. As the EU aims to become the first continent to become carbon neutral, companies and individuals must rapidly reduce their carbon footprint. Now its time to achieve your next sustainable step and offset your carbon footprint.
