Saying your eco-vows
Weddings and anniversaries are great occasions to remember the things in life that are truly valuable. Whether the happy couple is renewing their vows or saying them for the first time, the gift of carbon neutrality will add to the celebration while showing a firm commitment to the future of our planet. Your gift helps build community-based renewable energy across the United States, an important step in the transition to a clean, sustainable future. Throw in an energy-saving accessory like a CFL or cloth grocery bags as a reminder of the importance of taking action in our everyday lives.
How do we calculate a couple’s annual emissions?
The EPA calculates that the entire U.S. carbon footprint, divided by the U.S. population, comes out to 23 tons per person each year. We then add in a few things the EPA leaves out, like radiative forcing effects from airplanes and fuel used for international travel that originates in the US. That comes to 24.78 tons per person, or 49.56 tons for a couple.
