How we calculate your offset emissions for this carbon-offsetting action: The average American commutes 41 miles a day to and from work. Assuming a gas powered car, 411gr CO2 emissions per mile driven. 41 miles x 411 gr = ca. 17kg CO2 per day x 20 business days = 340kg CO2 (see US Environmental Agency). We work with BEF Foundation's knowledgeable staff to craft high-quality, verified carbon offset solutions that address climate challenges by restoring freshwater ecosystems and catalyzing a renewable energy future for all. Carbon Offsets are retired on your behalf and come from verified projects such as regenerative agriculture in South Dakota, garbage conversion to power in Xinyang (China) and forest conservation projects in Minnesota.
