An easy way for businesses and individuals to calculate and offset their carbon footprint
Carbon emissions are caused by everyday activities such as energy use for heating and cooling, electricity, transportation and travel. These emissions are one of the main drivers of climate change. Offsetting your carbon footprint is a way to help mitigate the negative effects your energy use has on the environment.
Through reforestation and avoided deforestation, Nature and Culture International offers Living Forest Carbon Offsets, giving you the opportunity to avoid an equivalent release of carbon into the atmosphere that occurs when forests are destroyed.

How does this Calculator work?
This calculator estimates your total carbon emissions based primarily on USEPA emissions data (www.epa.gov). We calculate the emission of air travel by using the average medium-flight figure of .45 lbs of CO2 per air mile from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Figures are shown in metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. The cost of an emissions offset is $5 per metric ton of avoided carbon emissions through the purchasing and protecting acres of tropical forest through Nature and Culture International’s in-country conservation programs.
