Carbon Foot Print Offsetting

Carbon Footprint Offsetting.

Carbon Footprint Offsetting Initiative seeks to help individuals, families, organizations, corporate companies and industries to understand Climate change, its causes and its Net Effect on living things including human beings and nature. This program enhances appreciation of the carbon footprint by informing individuals, organizations, corporations and families on how to reduce their emissions, and providing them with avenues of offsetting their carbon footprints inform of carbon credits which are used to plant trees that grow bigger and helps in sinking the carbon. Through this program, awareness of the importance  of adopting green energy in our social and economic activities is enhanced.

Tourism/Travel, transportation, households, manufacturing, energy generation and agriculture sectors are the major sources of world’s carbon and other greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change.

According to a recent report by The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in Kenya, the carbon emissions released  into the atmosphere stood at 19.8 million tons in 2019 with an annual average emission of 3.65%.
