How will I know that I’m making a difference?
We make it easy for you to see the difference you’re making.
From your profile page, you can keep track of the progress you’re making in reducing your emissions. You can see how the offsets you’ve earned or purchased count against your footprint. You can link your credit card to your profile, and watch your footprint go down every time you use it to earn offsets. And you can keep track of all the conservation tips you’ve completed, and see how they lower your emissions.
But this isn’t only about reducing your own climate impact. It’s also about the projects you help build in communities across America. Check out our project page to learn about the difference Brighter Planet members are making for schools, farms, families, and the environment.
