Starting with carbon compensation as an individual to reduce your carbon footprint is easy. Begin by calculating your carbon footprint with our free Carbon Footprint Calculator. Once you have an estimate of your emissions, we can help you compensate for them—making a positive environmental impact. You can select from our nature-based carbon offset projects that align with your values and preferences. These projects can range from reforestation to energy-efficient cookstove projects, each offering many environmental and community benefits.
After choosing a project, you can purchase carbon units (also known as carbon credits) directly from DGB or through reputable providers. These carbon units represent your contribution to emissions reductions or removals equivalent to your footprint and demonstrate your commitment to environmental sustainability. Each carbon unit you buy is a contribution to nature and a greener future—plus, you contribute to planting about 35 trees for each carbon unit you buy with DGB. When you compensate for your carbon footprint, you become a guardian of nature.
