An average US individual is responsible for 35,000 lbs of carbon emissions per year from home energy use, household waste, driving and air travel, the majority of your personal carbon footprint. (1-6)

The terrapass Carbon Balanced Living Plan – Individual balances your carbon footprint by purchasing 35,000 lbs of carbon offsets on your behalf each year.  That’s like planting over 260 trees every year. (7)

Your carbon offset purchase funds carbon reduction projects across the US, like reforestation, renewable energy, landfill gas to energy and agricultural waste to energy.
