Earth Carbon Offsets, 1 Ton
Carbon Offsets are Good for the Planet; Earth Carbon Offsets™ are Better!
Carbon offsets are well established as an effective way to fight global warming, recognized by the United Nations and the World Bank. Certified carbon offsets can now be issued for carbon reductions, as when a factory installs more efficient equipment; or for alternative energy production like wind farms or solar arrays. But we’re excited about a new kind of carbon offset that’s based on preventing the destruction of healthy forests and encouraging the planting of new trees. These carbon offsets from Earth Carbon Offsets™ help the earth many times over. It's a meaningful purchase for yourself and a thoughtful gift for loved ones. The burning, clear-cutting and degrading of the world’s forests releases huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into our atmosphere. The amount is estimated at 20-25% of global CO2 emissions, more than all the cars and trucks in the world combined! Every acre of forestland that we can protect or restore lightens the carbon load on our atmosphere through the natural carbon sequestration action of trees and plants.
Most scientists now agree that reducing our CO2 emissions is not enough. We must also heal the earth’s diminished ability to reabsorb carbon from the atmosphere — and forests, especially tropical forests, are excellent carbon sinks.
By protecting forestland, Earth Carbon Offsets also prevent catastrophic erosion, improve soil, provide habitat for thousands of species, and build sustainable local economies.
Use the free Gardener's Supply Carbon Calculator to estimate your own carbon footprint.
Here’s why:
NOTE: Whether you're ordering as a gift or for yourself, you can personalize the Earth Carbon Offset certificate at checkout. If you are hand-delivering the Earth Carbon Offsets as a gift, please enter the recipient’s name with your address as the shipping address.

Comments about Earth Carbon Offsets, 1 Ton:
I bought a ton of carbon offsets from Gardener's Supply. I fly a lot, so I try to reduce my carbon footprint. Now, there are lot of different vendors of carbon offsets and I'm not going into all the pros and cons of each. The distinct advantage of buying from Gardener's Supply (versus other legit carbon offset suppliers) is that it's available on the Northwest WorldPerks mall, so I can actually earn miles with my purchase. That's the bottom line for me. The drawback? Gardener's Supply sends a paper certificate in the mail. Hello? More paper, more waste, more transportation costs and C02 emissions for the delivery! For my next flight, I might give up the miles and go back to another vendor of carbon offsets that gives me the option of just getting an email confirmation of my purchase. I don't want to cause more pollution when I'm buying a product to reduce pollution!

Comments about Earth Carbon Offsets, 1 Ton:
My children are all in their 30's and are very dedicated to saving the ecology for their children. The Carbon offsets that I purchased were the ideal gift to give my children who asked to received nothing but were so surprised and grateful that I would choose this gift for them. We cannot do enough to reverse what the generations before us started and we have nearly completed in the ruination of this world. Thank you for offering such a wonderful gift.

Comments about Earth Carbon Offsets, 1 Ton:
Carbon footprints are all over the media. This certificate allows you to be the first in your neighborhood or office to personally offset 1 ton of carbon by restoring a rain forest area. Great for environmentally-minded folks as well as kids (or adults) that need to learn more. I framed mine as a gift - it was a big hit on Christmas morning !
