Offsetting Your Carbon Footprint
Each of our everyday actions consume energy and produce carbon dioxide emissions, e.g. taking holiday flights, driving our cars, commuting to work, forced public transportation, ineffective use of carpool lanes, and heating or cooling our homes. Carbon offsetting is a way of compensating for the emissions produced with an equivalent carbon dioxide savings. It is a plan that all of us can help save the planet in these trying times.
How do I Offset?
Plant a tree? Well as you know, planting is a very difficult process. It takes a shovel and some prime agricultural soil, and it isn’t very easy to do. Especially if you have a fifteen-gallon tree you want to plant and your back is sore that day. And with limited space these days, you just can’t plant trees just anywhere. So, we would like to offer another solution, which is much simpler. The process of Carbon offsetting involves two steps – first a calculation of your carbon footprint, how much you consume, how much you drive, and how much you eat. If you eat a lot of spicy foods, your Carbon offset will be much higher. Please take that into consideration when using our on-line real-time calculator. For businesses and organizations, we offer a service tailored to your businesses needs. Please contact us for your free carbon footprint appraisal. Please send $19.95 for your free evaluation, which will be monitored monthly, with enrollment in the Saving-The-Planet program.
The second step involves buying Carbon offset credits from emission reduction projects. This includes trips to the Orange Box, which can consume an excessive amount of fuel. Remember, it isn’t a good project unless you have to go to the Box at least once. Buying Carbon offset credit projects will prevent, have prevented, or have removed an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide throughout the world. Bangladesh is an excellent example of how much we have saved the planet. As CO2 emissions are distributed across the world, it does not matter whether you make the reduction in Malibu or Dhaka. The positive effect on the environment will be the same; reduce, reuse, and recycle and the world will be a much happier place.
What types of offsets can I buy and what are their benefits?
Tropic World Inc. offers a broad range of products that fall into two categories that we call Certified Carbon Credits and Voluntary Carbon Credits. These products derive from international climate exchanges, are fully traceable and are made by companies that would otherwise be traded to meet their emissions targets. By retiring credits you will encourage industry to take active steps to reduce emissions, rather than relying on efforts of others. You will also be encouraging companies that save CO2 to continue their efforts, both helping to address climate change and reducing repugnant gases from high smoke stacks. When you purchase our carbon credits, the CO2 savings will have already been made. By buying, you are encouraging organizations to continue to make savings of CO2, and pushing the market to make it increasingly expensive for polluting companies to buy more credits. A polluting company is a bad company as you know. Certified Carbon Credits are energy-saving offsets, which are purchased for you by Tropic World Inc. and are overseen by international climate exchanges.

Voluntary Carbon Credits are products we include with our international protesting programs. Our programs are independently monitored and fully traceable. As many scientists know, trees reduce CO2 by a process known as carbon sequestration. Our products and programs are more effective, in that they incrementally reduce the Carbon footprint by the use of voluntary protestors, which use a very effective political tool, Hot Air - breathe in CO2 and exhale harmless O2, while standing in a large mob in front of public institutions. Our team of protestors are owned and managed, where they are protected by local and state legislation.
Examples of some recent speeches by our kind and courteous speakers: "I have a dream that one day even the state will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I will use solar, not drive an SUV, and I will take the bus to work. I will use expensive light bulbs, I will drive a Prius, I will not mow my lawn with a gas-powered lawn mower, I will stop barbequing on weekends, and I will voice my opinion to people that are wasteful and water their lawn too much. I will prevent you from consuming, tell you how to run your life, and I will scare you. I will not let you go to Wally World, the Orange Box, or let you buy beef. I will tell you what to do…"
We also have international energy saving projects, which will enhance your CO2 emission credits by donating clean technologies ( e.g. low energy light bulbs. I love these things. They are nine dollars a piece and very affordable if you buy them in bulk from the Orange Box) to developing countries. Again further benefits are raising awareness of climate change and encouraging sustainable living in developing communities and further humanitarian benefits. One main donation is for Third World residential fire suppression such as India and Iraq, and most recently Mexico. Our team focuses on household fire-burning, which adds to the daily Carbon footprint of the globe. Our international projects, including protesting programs are independently monitored by third parties to ensure integrity of the protest, location, and sustainability of the issue.
How do I buy?
Simply visit our blog daily and send money to Tropic World Inc. We offer financial incentives if you would like to put up an ugly windmill on your house, really expensive solar panels, or our organization will contribute to the protection of birds on giant windmill farms to reduce the mortality of these precious creatures, contribute to the demolition of dams in the western United States, and enforce the clean-car mantra. A donation to our organization is the best way for you to reduce your carbon footprint today.
