Carbon/Resource Offsetting
The debate surrounding the pros and cons of carbon offsetting and carbon emissions trading is fast becoming a contentious one, as both campaigners, scientists, citizens, governments and corporate interests struggle to find a practical solution to the crisis of climate change that everyone can live with; however, in the mean time, there is little disputing that the depletion of our rainforests poses a very real threat to life. To that end, we would like to offer our customers the ability to offset the energy consumed by our product deliveries to our customers. To this end we will be paying a donation of 50p per delivery to the charity Rainforest Concern, to implement their 'Forest Credits' project in Intag, Ecuador.
They are aiding a community-owned program to replenish the watersheds in the area, which, at the same time, reforests that part of the Amazon, helping to preserve the forests.
We would be grateful if you could assist us by giving a donation of 25p to help us with this programme. The 25p can be included with your delivery charge on the delivery details page.
If you don't wish to contribute, you don't have to, just use the drop down next to the delivery charge box and select or de-select the resource/carbon offset charge.
