carbon offsets We all contribute to the atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide, a key greenhouse gas. On average, every 3,000 miles driven, 3,500 miles flown or 1,600 kilowatt hours of electricity consumed causes the release of 1 ton of carbon dioxide. Carbon offsets compensate for the direct and indirect impacts of transportation and energy use. Get started by measuring your own carbon footprint with our carbon calculator. We show you how it works here. Learn more dictionaryBuild your understanding of what we do and how you can participate. Explore our glossary of terms. Learn more
