Offsetting our Carbon Footprint

7/24/2019

ROOFLESS PSA - OFFSETTING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT.
Our atelier is not carbon-neutral. We travel with vehicles powered by fossil fuels and paint with an oil-based medium.
🌳
To offset our carbon footprint and join climate action, we have become proud members of the UN CARBON OFFSET PLATFORM. It’s an exchange market that connects programs actively CO2 emissions with people and businesses that want to do the same.
🌳
On our first trade off, we bought 10 CERs (UN Certified Emission Reduction units) which equals to cancelling out TEN TONS OF CO2 off of our atmosphere. On the average, a car emits 4.5 tons of CO2 per year.
🌳
The funds went directly to Chacayes Hydroelectric Project, a power plant located in the Cachapoal Valley of Chile.
🌳
IT’S A WIN-WIN.
