Christmas for Gateway Family Services

The offset package includes two components. The first part incorporates the United Nations Convention on Climate Change?s program called the Clean Development Mechanism. This is a worldwide carbon offset program promoting carbon reduction activities in developing countries. Offsets raised via this program are recognised globally as an official alternative to acquiring carbon permits under emissions reduction schemes, including the EU ETS.

The second component of Ecoprofit?s offset package is the innovative part. Carbon offsetting is invariably a remote process, such as investing in Clean Development Mechanism programs (as discussed above). We wondered how we could help local community not-for-profit organisations reduce their energy costs and give them a progressive renewables and/or energy efficiency profile. Ecoprofit decided that $1 from every carbon offset it sold would be contributed towards these type of projects.

If you purchase the Christmas for Gateway offset package as a gift, $4 will be contributed to expediting the Gateway solar project. Go to our not-for-profit organisation sunshineproject.com.au for details.
