Make Your Impact on the Planet a Better One.
While we celebrate the importance of reducing our collective consumption of Earth's resources and the subsequent emission of greenhosue gasses and inevitable plastic pollution, we recognise that even with the best of efforts some impacts will remain. That's where offsetting comes in.
By offsetting your carbon* or plastic pollution** through internationally verified projects, you're able to achieve "Net Zero" impact in those areas. If you end up offsetting MORE than your footprint, you'll become carbon/plastic NEGATIVE ie. removing more carbon or plastic from the environment than you emit - and that's only a good thing!
*Carbon is the sum of all a business's unavoidable greenhouse gas emissions, expressed as carbon-dioxide equivalent (CO2e)
We Choose To Build A Truly Sustainable World.
There are an abundance of respectable carbon-offsetting programmes out there, but we've chosen to funnel all of our carbon offsetting through Gold Standard accredited projects. We love the Gold Standard projects, because not only do they provide the means to offset unavoidable carbon emissions in a relatively short time frame, they also contribute to the creation of truly sustainable societies aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (which we hold quite highly!).
So all carbon offsetting undertaken by Net Zero Eyecare doesn't just negate our members' carbon footprints, it helps build the kind of world that we want and need to live in!
Carbon Offsetting
We're proud to use Gold Standard accredited projects for our carbon offsetting.
Plastic Offsetting
Plastic offsetting is a much younger, and less-established concept than carbon offestting, so we're thrilled to be able to use VERRA accredited projects for our plastic offsetting!
