Live Neutral

LiveNeutral was created to foster education and action around the imminent problems of greenhouse gas emissions. They help make it easy for individuals and organisations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions directly and through participating in innovative market-based solutions to global climate change.

What they do for Individals

LiveNeutral gives everyone the power to mitigate climate change. From individuals to businesses to non-profits to schools, they help you calculate and then offset your carbon emissions through supporting projects and technologies that reduce the emissions responsible for climate change.

They by no means consider carbon offsets thee Answer to global warming but it’s one of the best ways they know of to start reducing the continued threat of global warming today and to help drive market incentives for more emissions reducing efforts on an industrial scale. Working together, they believe we can make a difference.

When you purchase offsets through LiveNeutral, you join a collaborative, worldwide effort. Here’s what makes them unique and what they offer you:

* Education: LiveNeutral is one of the only organisations in its industry focusing on outreach and education in addition to providing offset services. They teach you everything you need to know about climate change and they show you ways to reduce your own carbon footprint. Specifically, they offer:

1. Short and sweet carbon reduction tips you can implement around your house, at the office, and on your travels.
2. Project and technology highlights: they share information with you about specific projects you support with your LiveNeutral contribution. They also teach you about all the available projects and technologies that it takes to reduce emissions. No one effort can effectively tackle the problem alone. It takes lots of technologies and projects, and lots of public demand, to make it happen.
3. Credible and up-to-date information on Climate Change.

* Action: Global warming is happening now. So mitigating global warming means acting now. Maybe you’ve already done all you can to reduce your own emissions but you still aren’t entirely carbon neutral or maybe you are! LiveNeutral offers an opportunity for you to continue reducing emissions globally. When you offset through LiveNeutral, you’re sending a message that climate change and technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions matter to you.

1. If you have not yet, take a few small actions to reduce your carbon before calculating your emissions.
2. Calculate and then offset your driving emissions.
3. Calculate and then offset your flying emissions.
4. Calculate and then offset your home emissions.
5. Or if you prefer, simply purchase offsets by the ton and choose as many or as few offsets as you like.

* Collaboration: Through their partnership with Greenhouse Gas Services LLC, LiveNeutral allows you to support projects that mitigate global warming. In other words, you offset your own carbon emissions by stimulating projects and technologies to reduce theirs.
1. Explore the sites of some of our friends and partners for other information and services that help fight climate change.
2. Read and listen to media stories of which we have been a part. Share your opinions and ideas on how to address climate change with these news outlets or others.
3. Learn about the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, Chicago Climate Exchange, Kyoto Protocol, and other programmes for reducing GHG emissions and and participate in LiveNeutral to help put a price tag on pollution and a profit on doing the right thing.”
