In this post we will show you what carbon offsets are and how you can use an API to calculate your daily carbon emissions. Check It out!
What Are Carbon Offsets?
Carbon offsets can be a difficult thing to understand, especially if you aren’t really concerned with the environment. But it’s something that we all need to get our heads around, as the effects of climate change are getting worse every year.
You can use it to neutralize the effects of your own carbon footprint or to do something good for the environment. A carbon offset is a credit for greenhouse gas reductions. It’s a form of climate change mitigation that can help individuals and businesses reduce their environmental impact.
There are many companies that you can choose to calculate your carbon footprint; which will use to determine how many carbon credits you need to fulfill it.
But, they will not necessarily disclose which projects you support and whether they are related to you.
If you really want to know and manage your carbon footprint and offset, try this API!
CarbonAPI
CarbonAPI calculates your carbon footprint as a result of your emission-causing actions. This API aims to contribute to the solution to climate change. With the information provided by the API, you can think about projects to compensate for the environmental damage.
CarbonAPI enables you to have accurate carbon emissions calculations and facilitate the purchase of environmentally-friendly offsets; so they can offset the emissions resulting from transportation and other energy use.
CarbonAPI supports projects that meet or surpass the most severe international carbon offsetting laws; and they are extensively monitored and validated daily to verify that they are reducing carbon emissions.
You can also use this API to calculate how many trees you need to make paper and the carbon emissions of cars and the supply chain.
