Make your loved ones aware of their carbon footprint

In order to raise awareness of their CO2e emissions, Selectra has created the Green Pack to help individuals to reduce their CO2 emissions. For each ton of carbon offset, Selectra buys carbon credits which can be used to finance projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provides you with all the advice you need to reduce your emissions. Discover our sustainable project portfolio! Ready to take the plunge?

A responsible gift

Foremost, there are many ways to give your loved ones an environmentally friendly gift. So first, here is a list of eco-friendly gifts :

• Offer second hand clothes to limit the purchase of new clothes.
• A homemade gift such as a photo album, a good jam or a knitted garment depending on your talents
• A book to discover or deepen your knowledge of the environment and biodiversity
• A compost bin to make your peelings useful
• Offer Selectra's Green Pack.

• What's included in the Green Pack?
• A guide to carbon offsetting and the project associated with your purchase.
• Access to our online calculator to measure your carbon footprint and follow our environmental actualities.
• A certificate stating that the funds have been invested in a sustainable project to store, reduce or avoid GHG emissions.

By offering the Green Pack to your loved ones, you are making them aware of the fight against climate change. But it should enable both the person giving and receiving it to understand the need to reduce their emissions before they want to offset them.

By offering a carbon offset gift card to your loved ones, you are not only helping to combat global warming, but also offsetting their carbon emissions.

Although the Green Pack helps to fight climate change and finances an environmental project, it should not be used as a substitute for daily efforts to reduce CO2e emissions.

Carbon offsetting: how does it work?

In recent years, global warming has become more intense. The main cause is the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. Carbon offsetting consists of financing environmental projects that reduce the amount of greenhouse gas released into the atmosphere.

The funds raised will be invested in sustainable projects around the world to store, reduce and avoid GHG emissions. This is called carbon offsetting. Through misuse of language, we say that we offset our carbon emissions when we finance an environmental project up to the amount of our personal emissions.

The British carbon footprint is too high! On average, a British person emit 10 tonnes of CO2e per year, divided between transport, consumption habits, food and energy consumption. In order to limit global warming to +1.5 degree by 2050, we need to reduce our GHG emissions and emit a maximum of 2 tons of CO2e per year.

Reducing your carbon footprint is a 3-step process:

1. Become aware of your carbon footprint by calculating it ;
2. Reduce your GHG emissions as much as possible ;
3. Voluntarily offset some or all the GHG emissions that could not be reduced.
