Donation with Carbon Offsetting
A New Way to Repurpose Your Contribution
Carbon offsetting programs provide solutions to cut carbon emissions. It also lowers pollution much more quickly than you can as an individual/single business. It can improve Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental protection.
As part of your donation to SIM Carbon Offsetting Campaign, you will qualify for 3 tons of carbon credits to off-set your personal carbon footprint.
The world annual average per person carbon emissions are currently estimated to be 6.8 tons. You will certainly be procuring a significant portion of credits towards offsetting your own personal carbon footprint! (source: Climate Watch – World Resources Institute)
You will receive a certificate from SIM and Miami-based carbon offsetting agency, Grove Carbon, officially stating that you purchased these carbon credits as part of your donation.
Your carbon credits will also be helping to fund sustainability projects in either Brazil or Uganda, as this is where the carbon credits are created. Imagine how valuable and powerful your credits are when you consider the co-benefits of this initiative!
About the Project
Grove Carbon’s sister agency, CO2balance, manages safe water projects implemented throughout 5 districts in the Northern and Eastern regions of Uganda. Communities are supported in access to safe water through rehabilitation of hand-powered and solar-powered boreholes. The Northern districts targeted have all been heavily affected by the insurgency of the Lord’s Resistance Army rebel group led by Joseph Kony. This conflict displaced over 2 million people and destroyed water infrastructure as well as education and health services.
These projects ensure that tens of thousands of people have access to safe water, reducing the occurrence of water borne diseases and removing the need to boil the water as a treatment method, which exposes households air pollution. In turn this saves thousands of tons of firewood per year and reduces CO2 emissions. The boreholes remove the need to collect firewood for boiling and reduces the time spent collecting water, a burden which disproportionately falls on women and children.
