Green Christmas gifts like carbon credits help in a small way to reduce the effects of global warming.
More and more people are becoming aware of the impact our activities have had on this precious planet of ours, and are attempting to move to more sustainable lifestyles.
And there are all sorts of ideas available for great green Christmas gifts, and I’ve written about some.
Here’s another. Why not give him carbon credits for Christmas, that’s a pretty cool and green Christmas gift idea?
Now whilst an individual purchase of carbon credits isn’t going to mitigate the effects of global warming all by itself, it is a small step on the right path. And if we all take small steps, including the giving of green gifts, then things start to happen.
But many people aren’t exactly sure how carbon credits work, or where or how to buy them.
A carbon credit is a way of offsetting your, or his, carbon footprint, or the amount of carbon you produce. Here’s an example. A car has a carbon emitting effect. It depends on the size of the car, the fuel type, the amount of miles travelled and so on. And it’s possible to calculate this for every car.
Once you’ve done that you can purchase enough carbon credits to offset the amount of carbon emitted by the car. Or anything.
