‘Carbon Footprint’ has become the catchphrase of the new millennium. All over the world, a consciousness of the impact of our actions and lifestyles is awakening, and with it, a desire to do something about it.

Reducing your carbon footprint may sound like a daunting task, but when multiplied across the billions of people in the world even the smallest reduction made by everyone will have huge benefits for the environment.

‘Carbon Footprint’ has become the catchphrase of the new millennium. All over the world, a consciousness of the impact of our actions and lifestyles is awakening, and with it, a desire to do something about it.

Reducing your carbon footprint may sound like a daunting task, but when multiplied across the billions of people in the world even the smallest reduction made by everyone will have huge benefits for the environment.

Chances are, you’ve come looking for us for one of two reasons:

You’re worried, about the future and what it may hold for you and your children, or you’re scared, scared of what you see happening all around the world. And so you should be. The warning signs are worsening every day – and something must be done.

It doesn’t matter what your reason is, you’ve come here to do your bit to make a difference, and become a part of the Carbon Revolution. While the governments of developed nations dither and formulate endless economic excuses, and developing nations argue that they have to pollute in order to power economic and social growth, we aim to empower these developing nations to lift themselves out of poverty.

And you are the key. Poor families in developing nations can’t afford to not pollute as a result of their need for energy. But we can afford to help them, through financing projects that bring about emissions reductions and thereby offsetting our own carbon emissions, and at the same time fulfil the basic human need for light, heat and power.

Here you’ll find your key to a Zero Carbon lifestyle – and together we can unlock the door to the Carbon Revolution.

It is easy to say that your small changes will not affect the overall outcome, but by doing nothing what are you gaining? It could be very easy to alter your lifestyle without much fuss – the choice is yours and the process is simple: alter your lifestyle to reduce your footprint as much as possible, and then offset the balance. And when we say “alter” we don’t mean having to live in the dark with no television (or heating!) – We all need to light and heat our homes.

What we mean is that small changes in the way we do these fundamental things will go a long way towards helping to repair and maintain the environment. In the following pages you will find a wealth of information relating to how this can be achieved, not only in terms of direct emissions, but also indirect emissions, as well as links to other useful resources and forums for discussion.
