Carbon Offsetting

We acknowledge that we can’t always lower our carbon footprint.Sometimes we forget to put the recycling out and sometimes, justsometimes, someone leaves a light on overnight. When you shop atmoreeco, you are presented with an alternative solution.

That’s where our carbon offsetting comes in. It’s often a misunderstoodterm and there are various companies who offer different methods ofcarbon offsetting.

“Carbon offset is the act of reducing or avoiding CO2 emissions in oneplace in order to "offset" CO2 emissions occurring elsewhere. BecauseCO2 mixes well in the atmosphere, it doesn’t matter where thatmitigation occurs.”

Whilst carbon offsetting is not the be all and end all solution, wefeel it is better than doing nothing and we want to be part of themovement for a sustainable world. It is promoting an industry that islooking at reducing our collective carbon footprint, however weacknowledge that it does need more regulation.

Carbon offsetting is not just about planting trees. Please see moreinformation here about the projects we support through Climate Care. Wecarefully selected this organisation to partner with as we feel theyare making great inroads into lowering carbon emissions worldwide.

We offer carbon offsetting to our members automatically and free ofcharge, simply because we can and because it is so straightforward. Bycombining our member’s carbon offsets we can save plenty of tonneswithout feeling guilty that you’ve forgotten.  The more you shopthrough moreeco, the more carbon is offset on your behalf.  Once youhave registered as a moreeco member, each time you log in to goshopping you can see how much carbon you are offsetting with the carboncounter on the homepage of your account.
