Reducing CO2 with Eco Beans

As you are almost certainly aware, the effects of co2 emissions on our atmosphere are considerable and numerous.

The National Average for co2 emissions annually per person is approximately 10 tonnes, built up through road and air travel, energy consumption and waste. People all over the world are attempting to offset carbon in a number of ways, either by directly cutting down on waste or travel mileage, or by investing in offset schemes that directly help the environment.

Whilst we all agree that actively reducing our Carbon Footprint is the right thing to do, actually reducing CO2 emissions personally can be time consuming, impractical and expensive. If the process is not as easy as you first thought, the future of the planet is on your mind or you’d simply like to make a difference, there’s never been an easier way to do so.  Here at Eco Beans we are dedicated to the cause;making it as simple, affordable and user-friendly as possible to offset carbon.

But what exactly does this all mean, in a nutshell? Carbon Offsetting is the process in which a company or individual invests funds in projects that absorb Co2 emissions equal to their Carbon Footprint. In other words, you can indirectly help the environment by funding eco-friendly causes by doign something simple as planting a tree , swapping your gas guzzling car for an electric scooter, or rigging up a domestic wind turbine in your back garden.. It is estimated that a single tonne of CO2 costs just six pounds to fully offset, and all of these solutions can be achieved here with Eco Beans.

Checking your carbon footprint has never been easier. The Government have provided a website enabling you to gauge your co2 emissions per year – the carbon footprint calculator there allows you to see your individual impact on the environment, and hopefully set about becoming Carbon neutral.

You might be feeling a bit guilty once you’ve worked out your carbon footprint, but don’t worry - there’s plenty of ways to offset it here at Eco Beans. Below you’ll find links to several different ways to offset carbon – whether its tree planting or hopping on a trendy new electric scooter, reducing co2 has never been easier or more affordable.
