Are you traveling this summer and want to do something about your carbon guilt? You could go down the “research rabbit holes” to find a reputable company.
Or simply guess how much you’d likely spend on a traditional offset (that may or may not be legitimate), and donate it to The Rotary Foundation for projects that prevent carbon emissions or sequester CO2. Why donate to Rotary instead?
The Rotary Foundation has a 4-star rating (highest possible) by Charity Navigator.
You know that your dollars support sustainable projects designed to support communities for years and years to come, and those projects also help the planet.
You are supporting the work of fellow Rotarians.
You are helping your club’s and district’s Foundation goals.
Your dollars count toward Paul Harris points.
You can donate to Raise for Rotary, ESRAG Carbon Compensation.
