Benefits of Offsetting
There are many benefits from carbon offsetting. The benefits are felt both internally and externally for the customers who purchase the carbon offsets. The benefits are internal to the customers in an environmentally and a responsible citizen way. On the other hand, if the benefits are more external socially, the higher the value of the offset unit. If the offsets are ‘Indigenous Delivered’, which means the carbon units are created by an indigenous organisation or business as registered projects under the Clean Energy Regulator, they are then deemed to be of the highest value.
Environment
Our projects are addressing the global problem of climate change, mostly due to carbon dioxide levels today are higher than at any point in at least the past 800,000 years. Rising carbon dioxide concentrations, which is a greenhouse gas, is driving global heating, causing the planet to heat up. The degree to which temperatures go up will depend in part on how much more carbon humans release into the atmosphere in the future.
Economic
There are so many economic outcomes that are achieved through our projects, some of which are but not limited to:
• Carbon Offsets Australia provides our contracting clients and individuals who purchase their carbon offsets though us, a cost-effective solution to their carbon neutral goals
Social
As an Indigenous owned company, we hold a strong philosophy to empower disadvantaged Indigenous people through employment, which is not a handout but instead a hand up. Most unemployed people living in poverty have numerous barriers to gaining employment through the mainstream processes. Whereas working for Carbon Offsets Australia, working on land, with no previous skills necessary and no judgements on previous life mistakes, is an opportunity to offer an easy entry into full-time and sustainable jobs.
