Carbon Neutral Mobility Decal to Help Make US Air Cleaner
German company to import their successful system to the US
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Jan. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The C02 saturation in our atmosphere is at an all-time high. natureOffice USA has created a Carbon Neutral Mobility decal to help US drivers offset their CO2 emissions without having to buy a new battery operated vehicle.
How does it work?
- The annual mileage and the average emissions of a car are calculated and the amount of offsets needed are determined.
- Once the decal is purchased and activated, the carbon offsets are purchased automatically.
- A number is assigned to the decal which tracks your purchase on the natureOffice.com website.
- Driving the vehicle is now considered "carbon neutral" for one year.
Example: The decal has a value of $37. It is good for 10,000 miles (4 tons CO2). It will have a tracking number that will allow the user to track the investment in carbon offsets in the United States. If the emissions are offset via trees – e.g. one tree absorbs one metric ton per lifespan - than at 4 trees per 10,000 miles per year, the car drives carbon neutral for one year.
How: "There are many ways to offset emissions. We believe that reforestation is one of the best ways," says Erwin Hudelist, president of natureOffice USA. "Reforestation not only absorbs CO2 but also creates stable water tables, reintroduces wildlife and makes our planet more sustainable. A forest is also a place people can visit and actually see where they invested in," states Hudelist.
He explains that one of the most important parts of this program is the registration of the offsets through their German facility. The strict regulations in Germany assure accountability.
Who: natureOffice was founded in Germany in 2007 with the objective to support companies on their way to sustainability and climate protection measures. The company has been successfully certifying firms and helping operations to become carbon neutral for many years in Germany. In association with the German "TUV" (Technischer Uberwachungs Verein, Technical Inspection Association of Germany) it has successfully created the Carbon Neutral Mobility for German drivers and is introducing it to the USA.
