Your carbon footprint matters!

Can you offset the carbon emissions that go into the atmosphere because of your daily internet browsing? Yes! By adding a simple Chrome extension you can help save the planet!

Understanding the problem

In the world of 2022, climate change is gaining momentum and the greenhouse effect is visibly changing the world around us.

According to scientists, the levels of carbon dioxide that are accumulating in the atmosphere haven’t reached today’s levels in hundreds of thousands of years. Consequently, the higher temperatures caused by the burning of fossil fuels are threatening the future of every species on the planet.

The biggest question of our times is how to build a future where nature and humanity coexist in perfect harmony.

And according to research, one of the most important steps to be taken immediately is to restore nature enough so it can absorb carbon dioxide. Planting enough trees in deforested areas is the best way to create a natural way to purify the atmosphere from carbon dioxide.

Other measures include investing in renewable energy, creating environmental sustainability, protecting forests, reducing the everyday usage of plastic and fossil fuels, and many others. Now, we here at carbonoffsetextension.com have joined the efforts of millions of people around the world to plant trees and help fight climate change. Here’s what you need to know:

How it works?

As a company that works primarily with online products, we feel responsible for the environment and the carbon footprint of our activities. That’s why we created a free Google Chrome tool called Carbon Offset Extension with the long-term objective to help reduce the carbon footprint of our users. More specifically – the carbon dioxide emitted by internet browsing.

Our team donates money to one of our partner organizations that specialize in tree planting on behalf of our users. We are going to sponsor the planting of three trees per user per year. This calculation is based on our daily active users. For example, if we have 1,000 daily active users during the course of the year, our team sponsors the planting of exactly 3,000 trees. Check out our About us page if you’re interested in learning more.

How much CO2 do I generate by using the internet?
We assume that each of our users streams around three hours of HD videos every day (that’s relatively 630GB per month) on different platforms.

How much CO2 does one tree sequester per year?
The most widely supported theory suggests that a mature tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and this is the quantity our team is using for our efforts.

Our inspiration and motivation

Millions of people around the world are taking action in 2022. Some are joining international organizations and communities like #teamtrees – donating money for planting trees across the globe helps fight deforestation.

Fixing climate change needs to happen gradually and with the joint efforts of millions of people in order to produce a positive and long-lasting change.

Another way to contribute to the cause is to go green! Many of us are making an effort to reduce our carbon footprint by carpooling and using a bicycle more often, going vegan and/or consuming only local and seasonal produce, shopping with reusable shopping bags, recycling, or going the whole nine yards towards a zero-waste lifestyle. The list goes on of course and it’s up to each and every individual to decide how they’re going to contribute to the health of our planet.

How about plastic? The impact of plastic production is toxic and hazardous in many different ways. Discarding plastic solid waste in the form of packaging materials is one of the global environmental issues we’re facing in our time.

Organizations are already working hard towards reducing marine litter – the time for change is now!

How to restore the balance which has been so violently disrupted and become better at preserving what we have left? Achieving a sustainable existence on the planet is going to be the top priority of humanity for the decades to come.

Requirements

  • In order to use our Chrome extension, users need to install the latest version of Google Chrome and keep it up to date.
  • Our extension changes and takes control of your search engine setting, which is a mandatory requirement as it allows us to monetize and plant trees on behalf of our users.

Disclaimer
When it comes to carbon offset, there is various research and numbers flying around the internet. Since there is not a single most trusted source of information on the relation between carbon dioxide emissions and the exact number of trees which need to be planted, our team provided an estimate for our project after a thorough research.

And because the numbers are not exact and a miscalculation is always a possibility, we increase the number of trees that need to be planted per user per year. Our long-term strategy is to raise the number of planted trees if new data comes out in time. We are not liable and obliged to compensate for any past periods.
