We have a couple of different kinds of offsets that have come from our partnerships across Missoula.
We have offsets that come from our work with the Human Resource Council and home weatherization. These can be broken into small dollar amounts, and are great for individuals looking to offset their carbon footprint from the year, or perhaps a flight or long road trip. These offsets can also be great for small organizations with either a small footprint or fewer resources to spare. If this sounds like you, click the button on the left, "Individual".
We also have larger offset projects, where Climate Smart serves as a broker to get funds to energy efficiency projects and negotiate the transfer of carbon offsets rights. This is a more complicated process and involves perhaps conducting a GHG assessment and more conversation. These partners in our community, who might be local businesses or organizations with larger carbon footprints and the desire to offset portions or even multiple years of activity. If this if you, click the button on the right "Business/Organization" and lets get started!
