Climate Care is a service that helps you to repair your impact on the climate. It does this by ‘offsetting’ the greenhouse gas emissions, such as CO2, from your activities by reducing an equivalent amount of CO2 on your behalf. These reductions are made through a range of renewable energy and reforestation projects that help communities and wildlife as well as the climate.
