How Can I Offset My Carbon Footprint And Where To Buy Rec's

By: Michael Renzi Home | Health-and-Fitness | Pollution


What is a Carbon Footprint? Your Carbon Footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc. To offset your CARBON FOOTPRINT you can purchase a Renewable Energy Certificates. Zero Carbon Alliance in Newport Beach California offers affordable, easy to purchase REC’s for homeowners and businesses.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) were developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a way to help subsidize sustainable clean energy production facilities (wind, solar, bio-gas, biomass, geothermal, etc.) by allowing these facilities to separately sell the environmental benefits of each megawatt of energy produced in the form of a Renewable Energy Certificate.
By purchasing an REC you claim the environmental benefits of the Megawatt of “clean green sustainable energy” sold into the national grid, allowing you to offset your carbon footprint with the clean energy attributes. The revenue from your purchase of an REC helps to fund the expansion of clean energy facilities as well as the advanced technological research and development of alternative sustainable power sources.
RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES or CARBON OFFSETS represent the environmental benefits that emanate from each megawatt of clean, renewable energy sold into the nation's power grid. As mentioned earlier, they are a also a simple and affordable way to OFFSET our own CARBON FOOTPRINT. Buying Renewable Energy Certificates/Carbon Offsets through Zero Carbon Alliance is simple. The ability to sell the environmental benefits of clean power production, in addition to the sale of the power itself, provides additional revenue to the producers of clean, green, power. The additional revenue, provided by customers who wish to use REC’s to offset their CARBON FOOTPRINT gives the producers the capital to expand their operations and produce more and more clean, renewable energy to replace the non renewable energy derived from fossil fuels and foreign oil. The success of the ZPA's REC and CARBON OFFSET program will dramatically impact the amount of clean renewable energy produced in America in the future.
