An average US family is responsible for 88,000 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 – Family balances your family’s carbon footprint by purchasing 88,000 lbs of carbon offsets on your behalf each year.  That’s like planting over 650 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.
