What is Carbon Neutral Shipping?
From the transportation involved in delivering goods to your doorstep to the energy consumed by computers processing online transactions, the carbon footprint of our digital shopping habits is significant. A carbon footprint measures the total amount of greenhouse gasses emitted directly or indirectly by our actions. Reducing our carbon footprint is essential to preserve our planet for future generations. "Carbon Neutral Shipping" funds projects that offset the carbon emissions generated by transporting goods and running computers for ecommerce.
What Kind of Projects Offset Carbon Emissions?
Examples of the kinds of projects that may be funded include, but are not limited to:
- Planting trees
- Teaching farmers and ranchers how use their property to capture carbon
- Operating air scrubbers and other clean air initiatives
- Funding research
