THE HIGH LIFE
Can you make a carbon offsetting donation?
With help from our friends at Climate Stewards, we’ve worked out that the average UK school Year 9 group emits approximately 2.5 tonnes in Co2 every day. You can help offset this with a donation of £50.
A gift of £50 =
one day
£50 could offset one day’s carbon emissions for the average UK Year 9 group by supporting tree planting projects around the world.
A gift of £250 =
one week
£250 could offset one week’s carbon emissions for the average UK school Year 9 group by helping to build fuel-efficient stoves.
A gift of £1,000 =
one month
£1,000 could offset one month’s carbon emissions for the average UK school Year 9 group helping to support forest management.
(Average emissions per capita in the UK = 5.8 tonnes per annum (ourworldindata.org). Cost per tonne of CO2 = £20). 90% of every donation will support Climate Stewards sustainable carbon offset projects around the world, with 10% supporting Empathy Action's ongoing work to inspire action on global issues.
