Climate change is happening, what options do I have?
Our goal at Decarb is to make this as easy as possible for you to have an impact. You will become carbon neutral in three easy steps.
You might think that this problem is too big for you to solve.
However your individual impact will contribute towards the bigger picture, and together, we’ll promote change to save our planet.
1 – Measure
If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it. The first step to becoming carbon neutral is to calculate the carbon emissions caused by your daily activities.
Link to our calculator here.
2 – Reduce
Change begins at the individual level. At Decarb, we help you reduce your carbon footprint one step at a time. Once you complete your carbon emissions in our calculator (here), you will receive in your inbox a custom path to sustainability adapted to you.
3 – Offset
And finally, to become carbon neutral, you will finance projects that absorb carbon to offset the emissions you cannot reduce or avoid. You will no longer be part of the problem.
Decarb has its own inventory of carbon offsets, to retire them so that they cannot be resold or recirculated.
Once you purchase some carbon offsets, you will receive in your inbox a receipt of the purchase offset.
Let’s invent our way out of this mess.
There is an issue, we all know it, denial is no longer an option. we need to take action. Skeptics cannot say no to the fact that burning forests and fossil fuels make atmospheric CO2 levels rise. They cannot deny that when CO2 levels rise, temperature follows. And that a small change in temperature can have the most catastrophic consequences.
Greenhouse gas emissions are responsible for global warming, changing or destroying ecosystems, and come at enormous human and economic costs. There are pretty negative scenarios. For more information, you can find a special report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels.
Actions are more powerful than words
You will probably think there is nothing that you can do to solve this problem. You might think that it is too big, too hard to solve. Thinking that you are too small and that your actions are not contributing to global warming. Or you can think that the impact you will have will be the tiniest and it won’t matter. The problem is, that with these pessimistic and negative approaches, things cannot move forward. Things will not change.
Not relating our daily actions to global issues is a problem. We cannot ask governments, leaders, companies to change if we do not do our part.
The good news is, we can solve it as individuals. But how? Easy, taking action as individuals reducing our impact and offsetting our emissions to reach net-zero emissions. All of us.
“Life can be broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people who were no smarter than you. And you can change it. You can influence it…You can build your own things that other people can use. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.” — Steve Jobs
In short, our goal is to make fighting climate change as easy as it can get, either if you are a person or a company we want to help you on your path! Walking you through your decision-making, providing alternatives to your problems, helping you measure your impact, keeping track, and finally offsetting the carbon emissions you cannot avoid.
We understand that you have to travel, either if it is by plane, commuting in a car. We know that you have to eat, buy clothes, a house… You might have the feeling that no matter what you do, it has an impact. You are right, but we are here to help.
Climate change cannot be ignored anymore, the good news is there is something you can do about it.
Be the change, become carbon neutral.
Help us fight climate change by sharing the word.
THERE IS NO MAGIC FIX FOR CLIMATE CHANGE. BUT THERE ARE SIMPLE STEPS YOU CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION.
