Carbon Emissions and Carbon Offsets

Carbon offsets are any investment in projects or actions that work to reduce emissions and trap greenhouse gases. These actions include reforestation, methane capture, and implementing energy efficient technologies. They can also reduce carbon impact and contribute to sustainable living.

Carbon emissions are produced by everyday activities like traveling, cooking, using energy. Carbon emissions increase with any increase in these activities, and the emissions contribute to an overall warming of the planet through greenhouse gases in the atmosphere

Green Mountain Energy customers have avoided almost 93.5 billion pounds of carbon dioxide. Their offset efforts are certified by Green-e Climate, which means their carbon offsets meet the environmental and consumer-protection standards set forth by the nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions.
