Please consider Carbon Xprint as a viable carbon mitigation strategy.
Carbon Xprint is a patent pending process that certifies carbon credits by making a socially responsible investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency. A company or individual offset their carbon footprint by buying a term deposit or a bond from a financial institution or utility. The instrument is priced at the cost of one ton of greenhouse gas. If one ton of GHG is $25 then ten tons would be $250. The purchase certifies that the entity took action for their GHG emissions. The institution pools these deposits and dedicates this pool of money to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. At the end of the term the entity gets their money back plus interest.
It is simple, measurable, and flexible.
