Neutral meaning having Zero charge. Let’s Zero charge your carbon footprint. Reduce it to Zero!
‘Carbon neutral’ is a very lose term at the moment as there is no regulatory body that defines this exactly in Australia. As the trend continues there will be regulation and accreditation set in law. The Climate Group is working on an international standard at the moment.
Individuals and families are easy to calculate, however businesses are far more complex.
Most are considering themselves carbon neutral if they make energy reductions and efficiency changes, then purchase carbon credits for remaining unavoidable emissions from car and air travel. The level of embodied emissions monitored varies.
The above is a good Step 1. ZYC then suggest you go further and calculate your embodied emissions- hidden CO2 emissions in the growing, extracting, manufacturing, transport, disposing or recycling of all goods and services.
