THE COMPANY
We are a socially motivated company that wants to create a direct link between those most affected by climate change/global warming and those whose actions contribute to causing it. The key benefit we offer is to move the current carbon offset market from primarily benefiting rich individuals/industrialists towards the poor and the unemployed in developing and developed countries. The
poor are currently paying the highest price for the negative impacts of global warming/climate change. The carbon footprint offsets that we offer do not in anyway claim to solve the problem of global warming. It is just one measure in a series of actions that we all need to take – controlling/changing personal consumption patterns, affecting industrial use, changing research priorities towards alternative energy and fuels, a global cap and trade system, etc. THE APP
Offset4Poor helps you measure your carbon footprint from daily activities - driving, flying, waste, heating, and electricity. This app, also offers the choice to offset your emissions by paying for carbon saving work projects, such as tree planting and fuel-efficient stoves, among poor people in developing countries! Then, track your offset projects on reputable registries at any time. Guided primarily by calculations from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Offset4Poor calculates your emissions and keeps a history of them for comparison purposes. Use the built-in GPS to automatically calculate your distances travelled while flying or driving with Push notifications to remind you to ‘end’ long trips. Make a difference – either by tracking your emissions with this app and reducing your footprint and/or by offsetting through projects in poor countries. Your money goes to life changing projects that help the poor immediately and the environment. An average American offsetting through this app for a year, can help around 4 poor families in developing countries get over their hunger gap by providing dignified employment opportunities. Features Include:
➢Track emissions while driving, flying and at home – GPS Tracking, Push-Notifications & Preset Averages make it easy and accurate to track your emissions
➢Emission History & Comparison – View your emissions by week, month, fortnight or quarter. Compare past and current months
➢Offset my Carbon Footprint – Specify how much carbon you want to offset by selecting a date range. Feel free to send us your suggestions and recommendations – [email protected] or at offset4poor.com
