What is Carbon Offsetting and why should you get involved?
In simple terms
Carbon Offsetting is the method by which you can minimise your impact on the environment through global warming. For every one ton of CO2 your activities produce, you can enable one ton to be saved somewhere else in the world. This is done through projects such as planting trees, creating wind farms or investing in renewable energy projects throughout the world. Here at Carbon Neutral Hosting we take part in a scheme that sees us offset all emmissions from our servers by having trees planted in various locations. An example of how it works is, if your website needs electricity that emits half a ton of CO2 per year, then we could plant trees that offset that effect by taking half a ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere. A newly planted tree roughly equates to taking away 1 tonne of CO2 from the atmosphere. As well as offsetting, you should try and reduce your carbon emissions to an unavoidable minimum. Once your carbon offsets equal your carbon output, you can call yourself ‘carbon neutral.’
