Why offset your carbon footprint?
Carbon offsets are about how you feel about the impact of your lifestyle on the planet.
Climate change is a global reality taking the form of an increased number of extreme weather events, higher and lower temperatures wreaking havoc on agriculture and production, and the mass extinction of species and ecosystems too fragile to adapt to the changing environment. Carbon offsets are an active approach to changing the global conditions, with the global climate off balance why not counterbalance by neutralizing the human footprint?
Global Greenhouse Gases (GHG) travel in the atmosphere around the globe regardless of political frontier and we face climate change on a global level. Carbon emissions enter the global commons and therefore the trees that are planted to absorb carbon emissions are providing a service for the common good. There are a variety of emission reduction solutions on the market, however Sierra Gorda Carbon Offsets offer to implement emission reductions that reduce poverty, protect biodiversity and promote a healthier planet.
Is carbon bad? No, Carbon CO2 has always been a part of the global cycle of life, but modern human society has singularly altered the chemical balance of the atmosphere, through induced forest Y PASTIZALES fires, industry, transport and travel to the point of no return. Climate change, pollution, over-consumption, over-population, food insecurity are all part of the problem facing the planet. We believe the change has to come from the ground-up, from the people taking action. CarbonNeutralPlanet connects people to nature and offsets their carbon at a fair price and local communities steward the trees and protect a World Biosphere Reserve..
Governments and scientists have set up an international protocol and market mechanisms known as the Kyoto Protocol and the Clean Development Mechanism to oblige globalized industry to improve technology and practices to lower the global rate of emission of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) into the atmosphere based on a cap and trade system. Now the United States of America is catching up and will soon regulate emissions and focus carbon offset investments on modern technologies for energy and industry.
Urban centers must modify their infrastructure to reduce waste and misery in times of climate change, rural biodiversity areas must restore and protect the vital natural resources and services such as water, fresh air, habitat, protection from hurricanes, soil retention and carbon sequestration.
