Neutralize Your Pollution

http://www.fightglobalwarming.com/page.cfm?tagID=270
How does it work?
Even if you have already reduced your driving and electricity use, there's more you can do. You can neutralize the rest of your pollution—through offsets. When you buy offsets, you essentially pay someone to reduce or remove global warming pollution in your name.

For example, when you buy 10 tons of carbon offsets, the seller guarantees that 10 fewer tons of global warming pollution go into the atmosphere. While the pollution you produce yourself is the same, you get the credit for that 10-ton reduction.

Where can you buy offsets?
Shopping for offsets can be confusing. If you're not an expert, it can be hard to tell how much pollution is really being reduced or removed.

We've done the work for you. All these offsets were evaluated by a team of experts and meet our standards for credible, high-quality offsets. The prices range from $4 to $8 per metric ton. Find out more about offsets and how these were selected.

Carbonfund.org
Carbonfund.org works with dairy farms in California. Manure from 14 farms is collected daily and processed in a closed environment that captures greenhouse gases. In addition, the recovered gases are used to power a nearby groundwater clean-up system.

e-BlueHorizons SM
e-BlueHorizons’ projects capture heat-trapping gases from landfills in New England. One project in Massachusetts uses the recovered gases to generate electricity. Another, in New Hampshire, uses the captured gases to treat wastewater from the landfill. A portion of the proceeds is also used to plant trees along the Lower Mississippi River Valley.

AtmosClear Climate Club
AtmosClear works with a landfill in Illinois. Greenhouse gases from the landfill are collected so they do not escape to the atmosphere and used to generate electricity. In addition, the project reduces odor and the potential for groundwater contamination.

DrivingGreen
DrivingGreen’s projects work with livestock farmers in Mexico. Greenhouse gases from animal waste are captured and used to generate energy. The projects can also improve local air quality and help reduce the risk of groundwater contamination.

Natsource LLC - DuPont - Blue Source
Natsource LLC represents select DuPont and Blue Source GHG emission reduction projects. The projects are located in Kentucky, Maine, Texas, and Wyoming. They reduce emissions by preventing pollution, switching to cleaner fuels, and capturing and storing carbon.
