WLT launches Personal Carbon Balanced 

Latest additions to the World Land Trust website

Hot on the heals of the Business Carbon Balanced website, WLT's Personal Carbon Balanced was launched on May 25th. Personal Carbon Balanced is aimed at individuals and intends to demonstrate the value of rainforests in climate regulation. The Trust has calculated the amount of carbon dioxide produced by different activities, and used the latest scientific research coupled with studies in WLT's project areas to estimate the amounts of carbon absorbed by rainforests. Personal Carbon Balanced can help you:

• Calculate how much carbon dioxide your general lifestyle and specific activities emit into the atmosphere
• Reduce your emissions by taking measures to be more energy efficient and consume less resources
• Offset any emissions you cannot avoid by supporting the WLT's carbon sequestration projects
