Go Eco - Offset your Carbon Footprint with Samsung

Offset your Carbon Footprint with Samsung. Carbon offsetting is a way to compensate for your carbon footprint by assisting in reducing emissions in other areas. As we work from home, travel and buy items online we are consuming energy and creating carbon emissions. Carbon offsetting helps to balance out these emissions by creating savings in other areas of the world.  

Samsung has partnered with Carbon Footprint Ltd to offset the emissions of all their washing machine and tumble dryers - making them carbon neutral while you use them. Carbon offsetting funds immediate solutions to reduce carbon emissions, it also has a host of other benefits such as biodiversity, increased employment, education and health & wellbeing in developing countries. Samsung will offset the lifetime CO output of each appliance sold before the 30th June 2022. They plan to offset these carbon emissions by supporting solar, wind and tree-planting initiatives, as well as protecting forest degradation both locally and overseas. Find out more here.  

By offsetting your carbon footprint you are playing a vital role in the prevention of global warming and climate change. We do not currently have enough Zero Carbon solutions for energy, transport and agriculture to meet the global demand. Carbon offsetting is a great way to support solutions to climate change while we work towards a more sustainable energy system. Supporting these projects helps to give vital funding to reducing deforestation, fund renewable energy production and fund improved efficiencies in developing countries.
