Take
the necessary steps to combat the imminent problem of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon dioxide is the
main GHG that contributes to climate change. It is also
the GHG that human beings can most readily alter their
production of.
How we live day-to-day produces our own
carbon debt. That carbon debt can and should be reduced
wherever possible...and the rest can be “offset” or
cancelled. We partner with major corporations, and their
consumers, to give them the opportunity to reduce their
effects on climate change.
AutoCarbonX
raises funds and coordinates efforts to reduce or “offset” the
effects of global warming through green house gas (GHG)
mitigation projects. The funding primarily comes from
the sales of carbon offsets (or credits) through partnering
with businesses that offer their consumers the opportunity
to offset the projected amount of green house gases (GHG’s)
that would be produced as a result of the use of the
product or service they are purchasing.
Our
focus is on working with businesses and manufactures
to provide
consumers the opportunity to purchase an appropriate
carbon offset during the event of a retail purchase.
However, there is an element of our funding that
comes from environmentally responsible businesses or
corporations
that have exhausted their internal efforts to reduce
their GHG emissions and are only left with the prospect
of purchasing offsets for the remaining GHG’s they
produce.
AutoCarbonX
also solicits a portion of its funding from donations
of concerned businesses and consumers
that desire to support our efforts. By “pooling” the
funds from all these varied sources, we can have a much
greater positive impact on the environment and accomplish
more than any of us could individually. There are current
offset providers that fund efforts that are “business
as usual”, or in other words, they would occur
even without the efforts and funding of these offset
providers. We offer consumers the opportunity to purchase
carbon credits (or offsets) that we can ensure are truly “additional” and
effective for the global environment by focusing on all
four areas of GHG reduction.
We
fund and/or coordinate projects in the areas of:
1) fossil
fuel displacement
projects
2) increased energy efficiency projects
3) education
and awareness through public service announcements
4) forestation and reforestation projects.
The
actual project activities are carried out either directly
by us, contracted by us, or the organizations we select
and audit to ensure quality and additionality
of the
GHG mitigation projects. The mitigation of
GHG’s
for the betterment of our environment is the
sole reason AutoCarbonX exists. So, 100% of our
efforts goes toward
either the actual mitigation activities or the
solicitation and generation of funding for those
activities.
AutoCarbonX
prioritizes funding and coordinating GHG
mitigation activities in order of proximity to the State
of Michigan and the
United States of America so as to maximize
the
amount of GHG mitigation per dollar. However,
GHG mitigation
projects exist all over the globe and regardless
of where the actual projects are carried
out, those efforts benefit
all humanity equally. AutoCarbonX is motivated
by a genuine desire to curb the effects of
global warming now so that
the global legacy that we will be leaving
our children and grandchildren will be a positive
one. |
