How we calculate your offset emissions for this social impact: According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the average American’s total carbon footprint is a whopping 50,000 pounds a year (24MT per year or 500kg per week). This includes the emissions from your home, car, air travel, and everything you purchase and use. We work with BEF Foundation's knowledgeable staff to craft high-quality, verified carbon offset solutions that address climate challenges by restoring freshwater ecosystems and catalyzing a renewable energy future for all. Carbon Offsets are retired on your behalf and come from verified projects such as regenerative agriculture in South Dakota, garbage conversion to power in Xinyang (China) and forest conservation projects in Minnesota.
