About Global Warming
Carbon offsets doing a world of good
With BeGreen you can calculate the amount of carbon emissions you generate, take steps to reduce your emissions, then purchase BeGreen Carbon Offsets to offset all or a portion of your remaining emissions. While you're doing your part to reduce the emissions you can control, buying carbon offsets allows you to use clean technologies like renewable energy, carbon sequestration or energy efficiency improvements to help drive reductions in carbon emissions elsewhere.
As you and others make the positive choice to support carbon offsets made from sources like renewable energy projects, your purchases help add sources like wind, solar and biomass to the national power grid. As the demand increases for these cleaner energy sources, less of our electricity comes from limited and polluting fossil fuels. In addition to the desirable environmental benefits obtained through carbon offsets and green energy, supporting the move toward greater diversity in the fuels we use creates a more balanced and sustainable energy future.
Purchasing BeGreen Carbon Offsets and reducing your impact on global warming helps the planet in many powerful ways:
1) Protects Natural Resources
Changes in climate pose a serious threat to the loss of habitat and biodiversity of species. Our natural resources and ecosystems are abundant but not limitless. Clean air, clean water and a healthy environment will be in short supply if we don't act to protect Earth for future generations.
2) Drives Economic Expansion
With demand for voluntary purchases of carbon offsets quadrupling from 2004 to 2006, the market for carbon offsets is steadily on the rise. Growth within this industry means new jobs in construction, maintenance, operations and other areas in both developed and industrialized nations.
3) Reduces Foreign Energy Dependence
Supporting the growth of sustainable energy brings our energy production home. Domestic energy means independence and security for our entire nation.
