Drive wisely

While many of us are constantly looking for ways to reduce our driving, everyone has places to go and people to see that require using a car. So buy Offsets by Brighter Planet and completely eliminate the climate impact of your driving! You’ll be canceling out about 15% of your annual carbon footprint. Your purchase helps build renewable energy projects like wind, methane, and solar power in communities across the country, paving the way to a clean energy future. Of course the best way to reduce the emissions from your vehicle is to drive less. The EPA estimates that leaving your car at home just two days a week can reduce your annual footprint by almost 2 tons.

How do we calculate your emissions from driving?

First we assume you drive your car 12,250 miles each year (the average for Americans). Then we estimate your fuel economy. Mileage varies significantly between models and is affected by a range of factors from driving style to average trip length. Pickups, SUVs, and minivans average about 16 mpg.
