EcoMart® features a wide range of eco-friendly products to make your home and your life a little bit greener. As an added bonus, you collect ecoPoints with every product purchase. For every 100 points you collect, EcoMart® will give our offset partner CAD $x.xx for a pre-authorized carbon offset project. (You can learn more about those projects here.)
While you should always make it a top priority to reduce your energy use, carbon offsets can help, too. 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.
Plus, each time you shop online at EcoMart®, you earn ecoPoints for every purchase. At the end of each month, we’ll add up all your ecoPoints and make a corresponding contribution to one of our carbon offset projects… doing even more to help you to become carbon neutral.
