Why?
Climate change is the defining challenge of our times. Carbon (CO2) emitted by humans causes climate change. In order to limit the temperature increase to acceptable levels, rapid and drastic action should be taken. We from Carbon+Alt+Delete believe that individuals can make a difference. That is why we offer you a way to take action and limit your contribution to climate change!
What?
Action is required on two levels. First, everyone of us needs to limit his/her carbon emissions. For instance, you can limit your emissions by consuming less, buying an electric car, etc. However, low-carbon alternatives are not always available, sometimes expensive or still under development. Therefore action is needed on the second level: compensating. Compensating means reducing emissions from other sources to compensate for our own remaining emissions.
Carbon+Alt+Delete support actions on these two levels. We have developed an user-friendly tool to calculate your carbon emissions. This tool gives you insight in how good you are doing and what you can do to further reduce your emissions.
Carbon+Alt+Delete also compensates carbon emissions. Currently we are buying Voluntary Emission Reductions (VERs) verified and approved by Gold Standard. The money we pay for VERs is invested in low-carbon projects to reduce carbon emissions.
Calculate your emissions and support our carbon compensation!
