Compensate your carbon footprint now and live climate neutral

Climate neutral living - this is how it works

Each of us is responsible for an average of 11.6 t of climate-damaging greenhouse gases per person per year. This corresponds to around 1 t of greenhouse gas per month and person.

According to the figures of the Federal Environment Agency, our emissions are made up of:

• electricity consumption and heating (21%)
• mobility including air travel (19%)
• nutrition (15%)
• other consumption (39%)
• public emissions (6%)
  
  

Without a doubt, our modern lifestyle causes a lot of climate-damaging CO₂. At 11.6 t, every citizen is more than 2 times higher than the global average emissions of 4.9 t per person. The Paris Climate Agreement of 2015 tells us that we need to be climate neutral by 2050 - so there is still a very long way to go!

Get active!

Take the first step now and start taking action yourself instead of just waiting for politicians and companies. For each of us, it is possible to avoid CO₂. You will find out how you can do this here. 

You can easily offset your personal CO₂-emissions or those of your whole family with certified climate action projects and thus live climate neutral. You can do this either via a monthly subscription or as a one-time payment.

For all of you who want more details about youe specific personal CO₂-footprint, we recommend to visit the CO₂-calculator of the Federal Environment Agency. You can use your personal information to calculate the emissions of your individual CO₂-footprint and then offset your emissions here. This second option for offsetting your greenhouse gas emissions is more individual than the first solution described above, but it also requires more time and information.

Whether your climate protection commitment is ultimately based on flat-rate or individually calculated emission values ​​is not really decisive for climate action  - it is important that you take action at all!

This is how CO₂-compensation works
