Subscriptions
The website exclusively offers Gold Standard carbon credits to offset average unavoidable carbon emissions. We use an average of 10 tonnes of carbon per year for a UK adult (5 tonnes for children), based on estimates from a variety of sources.
All Gold Standard carbon credits are the best on the market and are generated by projects which as well as having a net positive impact on carbon emissions also must have an added benefit of changing or even saving lives.
This service is only offered to UK residents over the age of 18. If you are under 18 years of age and have placed an order, you must notify us immediately - in which case your order will be cancelled and any un-spend charges paid will be returned to you. You must ensure that the details provided by you on registration or at any time are correct and complete.
Further details on the Gold Standard carbon credit can be found here.
