REDUCE & Offset

Reduce & Offset

EcoMart® features a wide range of eco-friendly products to make your home and your life a little bit greener. Plus, your purchases help make the planet better because we give back 10 per cent of what you spend to the charity of your choice. As an added bonus, EcoMart® also offers a way for you to reduce your carbon footprint entirely through carbon offsets.

Depending on the demands of your lifestyle, it's not always easy to lower your carbon footprint as much as you'd like. Even if you make green living a priority by shopping at EcoMart®, maybe you have to travel frequently for your job, or you work in an otherwise energy-intensive business. When that's the case, you can still become carbon neutral by purchasing carbon offsets from EcoMart®.

Offsets are an established way to encourage the transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy, and they're a good way to show your support for action on climate change.

Here's how it works:

If something you do adds greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere, you can effectively subtract that amount by purchasing carbon offsets. Offsets are credits that support emissions reduction projects somewhere else in the world: new wind farms, solar energy installations, energy-efficiency improvements or tree planting. By buying these credits, you can compensate for your own emissions and reduce your net impact on the climate.
