partnering with carbondivest.org

People and businesses release Carbon Dioxide into our atmosphere by using fossil fuels through their everyday activities. A carbon footprint is created when our activities destroy oxygen and replace it with carbon. 

When extensive forests are destroyed, we also lose a part of the natural filtration system that creates breathable oxygen. The result of this process is the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Effect. Gases accumulate, heat our planet, and reduce the clean air. All of this leads to climate change. 

THE GREAT NEWS IS that there are steps you can take right now to help. When you support our Green Projects, you will immediately OFFSET your carbon footprint and help create the greenspaces needed to preserve the air we breathe today and will leave for future generations. Having just one person joining us to offset their carbon footprint produces the same result as taking two cars off the road.

BUSINESS LEADERS: YOU can lead carbon footprint offsetting for YOUR industry.

Contact us at info@carbondivest.org

Your first step toward offsetting and neutralizing your carbon footprint is to realize that you have a carbon footprint and ways you can adjust your lifestyle to eliminate or reduce that footprint. Your next step will be to choose a carbon reduction project to partner with immediately. These are found in our Projects Section. As more people sponsor these projects, the Project list will continue to grow. Together we will contribute to meaningful global and local impacts.

You can do something right now and it is going to have a real impact on our world!

Cutting Carbon Emissions before we reach the year 2030 by about 45% from the recorded level in 2010 will keep the global climate within more acceptable ranges. - per Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

While other websites go into the deep science of all the parts on how and why everyone needs to participate in the move to stop climate change - we will break it down into a simple answer. We understand that not everyone is a trained scientist, but every one of us needs to be aware of the situation we are facing and what we can do to restore the health of our planet and sustain it for our future generations. 

There is still time to stop and even reverse the effects of what is already affecting our planet.

Industries are becoming more aware of the need to change their sources of energy by incorporating new technologies that will allow for cleaner business practices. Many are offsetting their carbon footprint through supporting Green Projects while they make these changes to their own business. 

Individuals can also affect the mitigation of climate change by supporting Green Projects that promote the conservation and preservation of natural forests and wetlands and renewable energy sources. 

By supporting CarbonDivest Projects you enable Indigenous communities globally to conserve and nurture the forests on their owned lands both now and through their future generations. We provide them with food, potable water, educational assistance, medical resources, sustainable projects, and the ability to monitor the lands through high tech so that they can contact the legal authorities if they see any illegal activity occurring on their lands. By providing in these areas, it affords the Indigenous communities the ability to keep the forests and not have to be pressured into deforestation to provide temporary relief from poverty. 

Trees reduce and remove the GHG from our atmosphere by trapping these emissions and then the trees release and replace clean oxygen into the air. This is why these magnificent forests have been called "The Lungs of Our Planet". Rather than cutting forests down, we need to keep them growing. We need to replace tree growth in areas that deforestation has occurred with trees that are native to that area. The more mature the tree is the more dense oxygen amounts that are released. So 

Companies and countries must commit to ambitious decarbonization plans that align with the Paris Climate Accord.
