Carbonvoucher.com offers a green lifestyle

After a year in the planning, CarbonVoucher.com sees its exciting UK launch this week. Having studied the best points of their competitors' schemes and added their own unique touches, the company is confident that it delivers the best offsetting service to be found.

CarbonVouchers not only allow customers to go green but also to play an active role in saving the rainforest habitat of half of the world's plant and animal species. By supporting the scheme customers can offset their household emissions forever, so helping the environment and averting global warming. The company's unique process of carbon offsetting offers a simple two-tier pricing structure and avoids the need for complex CO2 calculators.

CarbonVoucher.com has even devised a unique way of funding somebody's carbon offsets by using savings when switching their energy provider (gas and electric). Studies have found the majority of people and families will make a big enough saving on switching to one of the companies low-cost or green energy tariffs to fund their offsetting subscriptions. Therefore you can 'go green for free' and offset all your CO2 emissions. Of course it is not necessary to switch to the company's energy tariffs to subscribe or buy CarbonVouchers; any customer can buy these directly.

Subscriptions for a 2+ person Household Plan cost £40 per quarter and a single person household will pay just £25 per quarter. As well as subscribing online you can also purchase individual CarbonVouchers at £8.99 each. All new subscribers to the service will also receive two free energy light bulbs, to further cut their emissions and electricity bills.

One key aspect that makes the CarbonVoucher scheme different from any other is that customers' offset payments are used to protect and re-plant the world's tropical rainforests - a vital resource for the world and essential in our fight against global warming. CarbonVoucher.com is currently supporting a number of projects in the Central and South American rainforests. In addition they are helping to pay for the planting of bio-fuel crops in India. Full details of all current projects can be found by visiting the company's website.

In 2004 the earth's population emitted 9 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. By 2025 this is estimated to rise to a staggering 13 billion tons, at which time it may well be impossible to reverse any harmful effects. It is not too late however to do something about it and it is vital that we all take the first steps now. The new CarbonVoucher scheme offers you the perfect start to a greener lifestyle for you and your family.
