We all need to be concerned about our how much environmental damage is created from our lifestyle. Our impact on the environment is often referred to as a footprint. Where possible you should try to avoid these emmissions but for the emissions you can not avoid you can offset them simply and easily:

  1. Calculate your impact using our carbon calculator
  2. Purchase genuine certificates that you can use to offset your emissions

Certificates may also be held for investment purposes, just like a share in a company.  Industry generally believes the value of the certificates will increase as governments continue to regulate the cost of carbon. It is important that you get what you pay for when buying carbon certificates. Always ensure you or your intended project gets the benefit of your money.

 

Ctrade Offsets Minimize

 

Ctrade is developing an online offset program that will allow you to choose independently certified offsets from Australian green projects. The projects currently under due diligence by Ctrade include:

  • Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) arising from installed solar systems
  • Voluntary Emissions Reduction units (VERs) arising from avoided deforestation projects

Not only do these projects contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gases but they also inform customers, businesses and students about energy efficiency and climate change.
