We are all feeling the impacts of climate change – whether it is fires in California, Colorado, or Montana, storms in the Gulf, changing conditions for farming, or spreading tropical diseases like Zika and Malaria.
However, the scale of the problem leaves individuals and companies alike unsure how they can have an impact in the face of the power and special-interest money fighting to maintain the status quo at the expense of our economy. CLA presents an opportunity for individuals to drive collective impact, aggregating donations to bid against these powerful entities.
CLA provides an easy way to do your part by offsetting your emissions from travel, energy, and commuting.
your emissions
Use our Carbon Calculator to determine, and then eliminate, your carbon footprint.
The average US citizen emits roughly one ton of CO2 per month, or ~12 tons per year. This assumes a 12,000 mile-per-year driving rate, 12,000 mile-per-year flight rate, and typical utility consumption.
Donate
Every donation of $9.99 will purchase and retire one allowance, removing it from a US carbon market, while funding alternative energy projects.
Make a one-time donation or set up monthly donations to continue offsetting your emissions and supporting our bids against the fossil fuel lobby.
Carbon Allowance Certificate: If your donation is a gift, please send us an email at info@carbonlighthouse.org with the requested names for the certificate and preferred email address. We will send a certificate within 24 hours of receiving the request.
