Heating your home in the winter and keeping it cool in the summer is a significant contributor to both your expenses and carbon emissions. The production of electricity in the U.S. causes about 2.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions annually and is the major cause of air pollution. Each individual emits around 50,000 pounds of carbon dioxide a year! You can help reduce pollution and fight global warming by calculating your footprint and working towards making it carbon neutral by reducing and offseting your emissions.

About 14% of the world's human activity related emissions come from transportation. You can help reduce pollution and fight global warming by calculating your footprint and working towards making your vehicles carbon neutral by reducing and offsetting your emissions.

Air Travel
Unfortunately, planes consume a vast amount of fuel. Flying cross-country burns more than 100 gallons of fuel per passenger. Over 200 million metric tons of carbon dioxide are emitted per year from jet fuel use. That accounts for over 12% of the total U.S. carbon dioxide emissions created by the transportation sector annually. Airline travel contributes a significantly to global warming, and it's growing faster than any other single source of carbon emissions. You can help reduce pollution and fight global warming by calculating your footprint and working towards making your air travel carbon neutral by reducing and offsetting your emissions.
