It is surprising, but when donations are added together they make a significant difference. In most western countries the average person produces between 5 and 10 tonnes of carbon each year, with the global average being 4.8 tonnes (source:https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emissions). Most projects offset at a rate of between $7 and $15 per tonne. This means that a contribution of between $35 and $75 a year, or $3-6 per month will offset the impact of a global citizen. We select our projects on the basis of their offset impact, coupled with any benefits they provide to a local community such as job creation, health improvement or gender equality.
