A month for the climate

Carbon-neutral (1 month)–2.4 tons

A month for the climate

The average American is responsible for about 4,600 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions each month. These emissions come from lifestyle choices, like traveling and eating meat, and public services, like keeping the streetlights on and building our roads and schools. When you give the gift of carbon neutrality for a day, you’re helping people think about the components of a carbon footprint and the responsibility we all have to take care of the climate. With this gift certificate, you’ll help build renewable energy projects in communities across the United States, like our dozen small wind turbines in Minnesota and South Dakota, and methane capture on family farms in Pennsylvania.

How do we calculate your monthly footprint?

The average American’s annual carbon footprint is 28.2 tons. That’s 4,634 pounds each month.
