When you offset your carbon footprint through 4MyPlanet, the end result is less carbon in our atmosphere than would otherwise be present. 4myPlanet makes it easy to offset your carbon emissions footprint and reduce the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere. We provide carbon offsetting solutions to both private individuals and corporations alike. Our Verified Carbon Offsets and third-party audits give our customers the comfort of knowing they're getting everything they are paying for.

 

HOW YOUR CARBON OFFSETS ARE ACHIEVED

 

4myPlanet achieves your carbon offsets through the following means:

 

1. Financing the development and installation of wind turbines that would, otherwise, not be installed without our financial aid.

2. Purchasing Carbon Credits from the Chicago Climate Exchange, thereby permanently retiring the right of other companies to continue releasing excess carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

3. Carbon sequestration through reforestation: results in the planting of trees that absorb carbon dioxide throughout the life of the tree.

4. Purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which results in more green energy being pumped into our power grid and, consequently, less dirty energy derived from fossil fuels. Utility companies purchase energy from the cheapest sources available (primarily coal). Purchasing a REC bridges the price gap between green energy sources and cheaper fossil fuels so the utility companies will purchase it. Green energy sources include wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal.

 

DIRTY STATISTIC

 

Over 54% of the electricity produced in the USA comes from the burning of Coal. For each Kilowatt-hour (kwh) you offset, you are eliminating the burning of approximately 1 pound of coal for energy. To put this into perspective, it takes 1 pound of coal to power a 100 watt light bulb for just 10 hours. But there’s no need to feel bad about this depressing fact. By purchasing our Carbon Offsets, you can completely offset your carbon emissions footprint and take comfort in knowing you’ve done your part in preserving our planet.
