• The global environmental footprint is already 30% above the Earth’s bio-capacity. At the current rate of carbon emissions, the global average temperature will likely rise by 2-3°C by 2035. This is expected to lead to major declines in crop yields, significant water shortages, extinction of 15-40% species, and the permanent displacement of up to 200 million people due to rising sea levels, heavy floods and intense droughts. For more details about the state of play on climate change see here.

• While conservation and the use of renewable sources of energy have a more effective impact on reducing carbon emissions, most of individuals as well as of public and private entities cannot fully eliminate their carbon footprint. Carbon offsets mitigate your contribution to global warming by funding greenhouse gas reductions and balancing out 100% of the emissions you cannot otherwise eliminate. By accepting responsibility for the impact of your decisions and activities on the society and the environment, you also contribute to sustainable development and reinforce public practices of ethical behavior.

What you can do?

• Offset your carbon emissions, whether they are the result of travel, commute or home energy consumption. The transaction is simple, fast, reliable, conducted on-line and fully transparent. Our methodology allows you to see exactly how your money is spent! We provide our clients with full details of the carbon offsetting projects they fund: location, name, type, verification standards, quantity of carbon credits, expected environmental benefits. Greenfiniti makes sure you get the lowest price available on the market for the same quality of the carbon reduction projects. Greenfiniti offsets are certified under ISO 14064, VCS, Gold Standard, VER+, CDM and Plan Vivo.


• Example: Let’s say you take a return flight from Toronto to New York. You simply go to Greenfiniti’s flight calculator (link provided), input your departure and destination city, and we calculate your carbon emissions for you. All you then have to do is purchase the equivalent in offsets, which you can do on the same page. We will then email you a certificate and invest your money in a carbon reduction or renewable energy project that offsets the amount of carbon emissions caused by your flight caused. Of course, you can do the same for your car, your home, business and institution or social events and conferences.
