The website has educational material, calculators and a blog site. "LiveNeutral was created to foster education and action around the imminent problems of greenhouse gas emissions. We help make it easy for individuals and organizations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions directly and through participating in innovative market-based solutions to global climate change. Read below for a general overview and beneath the graphics for a more in-depth description. Everyone has a carbon footprint. Carbon is the main greenhouse gas behind climate change. Your carbon footprint is unique to you. How you travel, use electricity, and even how you eat are all factors. Companies also have a carbon footprint. Their footprints can be quite a bit larger." |
