Why a CarbonCard?

Do you know about climate change? When we burn fossil fuels to make energy for things like heating, air-conditioning and travel we increase carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. Many scientists around the world think these increases in carbon dioxide are leading to climate change. So burning fossil fuels is a serious threat to life as we know it. The problem is the impacts of climate change are creeping up on us and by the time we really notice things are wrong it will be very difficult and expensive to take action. If we do not act now, we leave a shameful legacy to the next generation.

It is not too late to act now. This is why we have invented the CarbonCard. Our mission is to make CarbonCards widely available and we are working to persuade credit and charge card issuers to make this possible. It's a way of making life easier for us to clean up our own mess. We can start to count our own carbon emissions as we go about our lives, and purchases made with the CarbonCard can help reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, so find out how it works.
