Carbon Offsetting in collaboration with The Rock ‘n Renew Foundation-Our planet’s resources are diminishing rapidly, and the effects of global warming are no longer in question. As we work on more permanent solutions to carbon emissions and alternatives to fossil fuel, there is a way to take responsibility for your impact on the planet today.
True Offsets are an essential part of the transition towards a sustainable planet.
In partnership with ecological and botanical experts, True Offsets implements the world’s most efficient natural carbon absorption model on the Hamakua coast of the Big Island of Hawai’i. True Offsets fulfills your carbon offset by planting fast-growth, native species trees every month. Our mission is three-fold: to ease the burden on our warming planet, to restore the health of a damaged local eco-system, and to provide job training and mentoring for inner city youth interested in a green career.
The CO2 burden on our planet is increasing daily, and the consequences are dire. Take responsibility for your carbon emissions with a method that is responsible, immediate, and real.
You can’t save the world all by yourself, but together we can be true to our future.
