Global warming is an issue that affects us all where ever we live. Greenhouse gases have a long life span and tend to mix evenly in the atmosphere. It does not matter where in the world the gases are emitted the effects on climate change are the same. We all need to work together to make a difference.

It is essential that we all strive to reduce our emissions. Where reduction at source is not possible, credible offsetting can produce carbon emission reductions elsewhere.

Carbon offsetting is not the answer to climate change but it is a useful tool if used correctly.

In July 2007 The UK House of Commons Parliamentry Environmental Audit Committee issued a report which concluded that offsetting should be encouraged. A full copy of the report can be downloaded from the Committee's web site.

Our Carbon Nation is a free directory service designed to simplify the process of offsetting your carbon emissions.

All you will have to do is tell us WHAT you would like to offset HOW you would like to achieve this and WHERE in the world you would prefer your donation to be spent.    This will result in a brief profile on the providers that match your requirements.  Full and detailed profiles will be available should you wish to find out more.  Our site has been produced with the support of all the major offset providers. Each provider has supplied their own information. The profiles are compiled in such a way as to allow easy comparison and enable the consumer to decide which provider best suits their preferences.  Once you have decided on a provider you will be forwarded to their website to make your payment.

The refreshed Ourcarbonnation.com will be going live in Spring 2010.  If you are interested in advertising on our site or are an offset provider that hasn’t yet submitted your details, please contact us.
