Go Carbon Neutral with the Carbon Neutral Phone App

Kg CO2 offset since November 2009

Climate change is a serious problem, caused primarily by the carbon dioxide released from burning fossil fuels like oil, coal, and gas. But there are things we can do about it – like choosing to go carbon neutral.

Carbon neutral, or having a net zero carbon footprint, refers to achieving net zero carbon emissions by balancing a measured amount of carbon released with an equivalent amount sequestered or offset.

Going carbon neutral is an easy way to take responsibility for the greenhouse gas emissions we create every time we drive our cars, take a plane, or charge our iphones.  Carbon is also generated at every stage of the manufacture, distribution and retail chain.  Going carbon neutral is based on the principle that, since climate change is a global problem, an emission reduction made elsewhere has the same positive effect as one made locally.

Here’s how it works: if you add polluting emissions to the atmosphere, you can effectively subtract them by purchasing ‘carbon offsets‘.  Carbon offsets are simply credits for emission reductions achieved by projects such as wind farms, solar installations, or energy efficiency retrofits.

At Carbon neutral phone, we purchase carbon offset credits and apply them to the emissions generated by the production and use of your phone to reduce your net climate impact.   Simples.
