Kanaka Creative Greenhouse Gas Reduction Initiative

From 1st July 2007 all clients of Kanaka Creative will be charged 1% of their invoice, a figure then matched by Kanaka Creative, to help offset greenhouse gas emissions created through the consumption of electricity, fuel and paper consumables by purchasing carbon credits through Climate Friendly.

People and businesses such as Tim Flannery, The John Butler Trio and City of Sydney among many others have used Climate Friendly to help offset their carbon emissions.

Where possible acknowledgments will be made for carbon credits purchased such as on print and websites.

1 Tonne Carbon Credit - AUD$24.20

This covers the 1 tonne of greenhouse gas that one person produces over about a month from driving and the power you use in your home. Amount of CO2 saved is enough to fill 6,951 garbage bins.

What is a carbon credit?

Carbon credits are like certificates that represent a reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Projects that prevent the generation of greenhouse gases or remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere earn these credits, which can in turn then be "sold" to other businesses and individuals to "offset" the emissions they generate. One carbon credit is the equivalent to a saving of one tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2).

The funds received from the sale of carbon credits enable renewable energy companies to cover the additional cost of generating renewable clean energy. Essentially they balance out the higher cost of green energy production allowing it to compete with traditional coal generated power. Climate Friendly's carbon credits are sourced exclusively from new renewable energy projects that create electricity without any greenhouse gas emission.

This means when you neutralise your emissions with Climate Friendly you are going a step beyond canceling your emissions - by buying carbon credits from clean renewable energy sources you are accelerating the transition to a clean energy future and investing in the technologies that provide long term solutions of global warning.
