		<description><![CDATA[Global warming is increasing in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation.

However, energy supply is finite and we must reduce and replenish what we use if we expect to keep our planet healthy for centuries to come. That’s where carbon offsetting comes into play. Carbon offsetting is also considered as the act of offsetting gas emissions. Common example of carbon offsetting or the use of carbon offsets is the purchase of "carbon offsets" in an attempt to compensate for the carbon dioxide production caused by personal air travel.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">The causes of the recent situation are an active field of research. The scientific reason is that the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases due to human activity has caused most of the warming observed since the start of the polluted area and the observed warming cannot be satisfactorily explained by natural causes alone. This attribution is clearest for the most recent 50 years, which is the period when most of the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations took place and for which the most complete measurements exist.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Often people are so consumed with the hectic lifestyle that today provides them that they do not take the time to even think about next week, let alone future generations. A simple look out the window or a walk outside once in a while is all it takes to see what almost all of us take for granted – breathable air and vegetation (unless you live in the desert). These things are in jeopardy for future generations unless we start acting on it now.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">If things continue to unfold on the same path we have charted as of today, we are setting ourselves up to be remembered as the generation that ruined the Earth. It will not take much to change the course; we just need to act sooner than later to ensure that the path is changed in time to alter the dire environmental fate that will be the burden of future generations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></strong></p>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">We will Choose Free Will</span></h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">We at Global Carbon Care have faith in the general goodness and want of mankind to care for and respect the planet we all share. We are also not naïve to the fact that a voluntary carbon offset is not high on the list of priorities for those without the means to do so.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Global Carbon Care is not about promoting guilt, remorse, or punishment for the ills that society has dealt the planet. Some of the environmental problems we are experiencing today were perpetuated through many parallel series of events initiated hundreds of years ago. It has only been in very recent history that we have begun to understand what has happened and why.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Global Carbon Care is all about giving people the ability to exercise their free will and choose whether or not they wish to be part of the solution to the destructive global effects of carbon emissions. It is all about making a decision to help the cause or to ignore it.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Additionally: Sustainability</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">This simply means, will the benefits of the project or program be ongoing. Global Carbon Care is not interested in funding projects where there is a one-time benefit, and then the end user reverts back to the old, more damaging activity. We review the details of the projects GCC chooses to put funds behind through our partners. This ensures that we are getting the greatest benefit possible for the funds being directed.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=49&amp;Itemid=222">Greenhouse Gas Reduction</a>:</span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> these projects involve the implementation of household, business, and community processes that reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the air. Examples include everything from cleaner burning stoves for villages to implementation of more advanced industrial filtration systems to reduce or eliminate factory emissions.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Sequestration:</span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> refers to the provision of long-term storage of carbon in vegetation, underground, or the oceans so that the buildup of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere will reduce or slow. Examples include forestation programs and emission diversion.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Global Carbon Care seeks out projects that provide a benefit to the battle against carbon reduction that are considered additional to ‘business as usual’. What this means is that we do not seek to invest in programs that are being implemented for the purpose of receiving offset revenues. Rather, we look for programs that are brought about for the sake of reversing an existing practice that is harmful to the environment or to provide an alternative, more productive and less damaging method of performing an activity that can be easily adopted.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=globalcarboncare.wordpress.com&blog=6347520&post=57&subd=globalcarboncare&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The answer is simple – because the buyer, their family, their community and their future generations are direct beneficiaries of the result.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Clean air and <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=45&amp;Itemid=218"><strong>greenhouse gas emissions</strong></a> are not a localized issue. If you make a change in one part of the world, the benefits will come back to you. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">We have one Earth that we inherited from previous generations and will hand over to future generations. How we care for it today will help determine the enjoyment and fruitfulness of what it will yield for future generations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Often people are so consumed with the hectic lifestyle that today provides them that they do not take the time to even think about next week, let alone future generations. A simple look out the window or a walk outside once in a while is all it takes to see what almost all of us take for granted – breathable air and vegetation (unless you live in the desert). These things are in peril for future generations unless we start acting on it now.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">If things continue to unfold on the same path we have charted as of today, we are setting ourselves up to be remembered as the generation that ruined the Earth. It will not take much to change the course; we just need to act sooner than later to ensure that the path is changed in time to alter the dire environmental fate that will be the burden of future generations.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">So ACT FAST – ACT SMART – ACT toward the Carbon Neutral (zero carbon footprint) planet.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Think for our future think for our future generation.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">There are few most important questions everyone should ask them selves. Like </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">What our future generation will do without a safe planet?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">What they will see in the greenery less planet?</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">What they will eat from the unhealthy planet? </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Where they will leave on the planet which not suitable to them? </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">All questions are associated with us and their solution is also in our hand so come wake up and work in the direction of making us and our beloved mother nature – Green planet &#8211; a <strong>Carbon Neutral </strong>planet – A Zero Carbon Footprint Planet – A healthiest Planet ever.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">We at <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/"><strong>Global Carbon Care</strong></a> have faith in the general goodness and want of mankind to care for and respect the planet we all share. We are also not inhabitant to the fact that a voluntary carbon offset is not high on the list of priorities for those without the means to do so. We focus on projects that meet Gold Standard or equivalent standards to ensure that the projects you help fund provide the greatest impact in the battle to reduce the presence of carbon emissions.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0 0 .0001pt;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> </span></p>

In our solar system, the atmospheres of Venus, Mars and Titan also contain gases that cause greenhouse effects.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:&quot;color:black;"><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=45&amp;Itemid=218">Greenhouse Gas Emissions</a></span></strong></p>
<p>In our solar system, the atmospheres of Venus, Mars and Titan also contain gases that cause greenhouse effects.</p>
<p>Greenhouse gases, mainly water steam, are essential to helping determine the temperature of the Earth; without them this planet would likely be so cold as to be tumbledown. Although many factors such as the sun and the water cycle are responsible for the Earth&#8217;s weather and energy balance, if all else was held equal and stable, the planet&#8217;s average temperature should be considerably lower without greenhouse gases</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;">It is notable that many of the effects of global warming are non-linear in nature, with potential for dramatic positive feedback effects. This means that the climate may enter a dangerous state where small changes can set off escapee. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=47&amp;Itemid=220"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;">Climate Change Solution</span></strong></a></p>
<p>Global warming is caused by the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activity, primarily the burning of remnant fuels to provide the power and services we use every day. We burn remnant fuels for electricity (from coal and gas) in our homes and businesses, our cars, flights and to create the food, clothes and other things we buy and consume every day.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;">We are living in 21<sup>st</sup> century where every sector is developing very fast. Major achievements are because of the tremendous efforts by the scientists. Scientists are working day and night for developing a better future. Considering <strong>Global Carbon Footprint </strong>they are working on various <strong>Carbon Reduction Projects</strong>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;">They have developed Carbon Offsets which are beneficial to Reduce<strong> </strong></span><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=68&amp;Itemid=241"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;">Carbon Dioxide Pollution</span></strong></a><span style="font-family:&quot;">. Apart from that they have mentioned various tips for <strong>Greenhouse Gas Reductions. </strong>So it is the duty of every human being to follow those tips and save earth. People are growing trees for<span> </span>the Climate Change Solution. But it is not the only way to save environment from worst effects of Global Warming. Everybody is talking about Climate Change Solution or Global Warming Solution but very few people are implementing various ways to reduce Carbon Dioxide Pollution.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:&quot;">Even government of various countries have started a separate department for surviving the earth. Now it is our duty to implement various ways to save earth. One must <strong>Purchase Carbon Offsets </strong>to </span><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;">Reduce Carbon Footprint.</span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;"></span></p>

<p style="text-align:left;">Clean air and greenhouse gas emissions are not a localized issue. If you make a change in one part of the world, the benefits come back to you. Thus it will Reduce Co2 Emissions. It will provide pure and healthy atmosphere through these Carbon Reduction Projects.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;color:black;">A question often asked when it comes to <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=51&amp;Itemid=224"><strong><span style="font-family:&quot;">Carbon Offsets</span></strong></a> is ‘what’s in it for me?’It is a very valid question – why would one person spend their money to reduce another person’s <strong><span style="font-family:&quot;">carbon emissions</span></strong>? The answer is simple – because the buyer, their family, their community and their future generations are direct beneficiaries of the result. </span></p>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Help Stop the Destruction</span></h4>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">We are definitely in unique times that give everyone an opportunity to contribute to making the planet a more livable place. It is no secret that the rate of environmental destruction grows exponentially from year to year. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Contributing by reducing your <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=53&amp;Itemid=226"><strong>Carbon Footprint</strong></a> and offsetting what you do not reduce (or more) will help stop or reduce harmful activities in many parts of the world. Such activities include: deforestation, inadequately filtered industrial emissions, dirty energy consumption, and the unnecessary combustion of fuel (and many others).</span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">The good news is, the people, companies, and countries that engage in these kinds of activities also want cleaner air and are happy to reduce their carbon footprint… they just do not have the financial means to do so.</span><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_carbonfootprint&amp;Itemid=233"><img class="aligncenter" title="Carbon Offsets" src="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/images/stories/slideshow/6.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="254" /></a><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;  Normal 0     false false false  EN-US X-NONE X-NONE              MicrosoftInternetExplorer4              &lt;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;                                                                                                                                             &lt;![endif]--><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Social Responsibility</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">As citizens, it is often said that we have an implicit obligation to act socially responsible. Whether an individual, a family, or a corporation, we should all put the welfare of where we live and what future generations will inherit ahead of our immediate gratification. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">That is not to say that people or businesses should not strive to be financially secure and enjoy the fruits of their hard work. However, it does mean that in the areas where we can afford to help fulfill our social responsibility, we should make an effort.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">For some it may mean reducing energy consumption and driving a hybrid vehicle; For others it could mean choosing local sources of food and recycling. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Carbon Offsetting with Global Carbon Care is one way that people can help the greater good by making the planet we live on a little bit more livable for today and tomorrow.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">A Token of Thanks from Global Carbon Care</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Engaging in immediate <strong>carbon reduction </strong></span><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">projects</span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> will have a swift effect on positively changing the quality of the air that we breathe. The numerous programs GCC helps fund in both developing and developed nations can, upon completion, provide an immediate reduction to carbon emissions.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Whether it be an alternative energy farm in Botswana, a reforestation project in Brazil, a clean burning incineration project in Sri Lanka, or a methane reduction project in China, they all have both an immediate and long-term positive effect on the air that we all breathe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;">With every offset purchase from Global Carbon Care, we will send you a certificate indicating our appreciation and the volume of harmful carbon emissions you offset. We prefer to email them and give you a permanent record of your contribution and also not increase our collective carbon footprint. However, we are happy to mail these certificates via standard postage at cost (we will pay for the carbon offset) if you choose.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">What is <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com" target="_blank"><strong>Carbon Offsets</strong></a>?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Today people are becoming aware about Carbon Offsets and <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com"><strong>Carbon</strong><strong>Dioxide Pollution</strong></a> which is better for <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com">Global warming Solution.</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">The basic idea of a carbon offset is to figure out your personal contribution level to Reduce Co2 Emissions from such activities as <a title="Drive a Car" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Drive-a-Car"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;">driving</span></a>, <a title="Be Comfortable on a Long Airplane Trip" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Comfortable-on-a-Long-Airplane-Trip"><span style="color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;">flying</span></a>, or home energy use. This contribution is called a &#8220;carbon footprint.&#8221; You can Purchase Carbon Offsets and balance out Greenhouse Gas Emissions. At present <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com">Carbon Offset Organizations</a> are working to find out ways for <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com">Climate Change Solution</a>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Why should I <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_offset&amp;Itemid=234">Purchase Carbon Offsets</a>?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:&quot;color:black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black;">For</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:&quot;color:black;"> </span><span style="font-size:11pt;color:black;">Global Warming Solution </span><span style="font-size:11pt;">we all need to take account of our personal carbon emissions and make continued efforts to <span><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_offset&amp;Itemid=234">Reduce Co2 Emissions</a> for</span> ourselves. But it is impossible to reduce our carbon emissions to zero, no matter how hard we try. To <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_offset&amp;Itemid=234"><strong>Purchase carbon offsets</strong> </a>is a practical and affordable way to do something about those remaining emissions.</p>
<p>In addition, by voluntarily calculating and assigning a cost to your carbon emissions, you can begin to prepare for the certainty of an economy in which carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are regulated and taxed. Whether you are a business or an individual, this is an important step towards managing your carbon emissions efficiently and identifying potential for reductions and savings.</p>
<p>Purchasing high quality carbon offsets from <strong>Carbon Reduction Projects </strong>such as wind farms also helps support the transition to a sustainable energy economy by providing an additional source of revenue to developers of renewable energy. <strong></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">While voluntary offset programs should not be seen as a surrogate for comprehensive government regulations to reduce <span style="color:black;">Greenhouse Gas Emissions.</span> They are a step in the right direction, and an opportunity to demonstrate leadership on <span style="color:black;">Climate Change Solution.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-size:11pt;">Carbon offsets </span></strong><span style="font-size:11pt;">also offer flexibility, as you can choose to offset just one &#8211; or all &#8211; of your major emission sources. For example, you can purchase carbon offsets to lessen the emissions from your air travel, automobile use, or home heating. If you wish to offset the emissions from electricity, you can use either carbon offsets or a special product working on solar energy which is like purchasing renewable energy.<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Carbon offsetting is not the end solution that much is noticeable. But, it&#8217;s putting money toward good causes that will eventually be part of this solution. So no one should waste time in taking a firm decision. Pollution is increasing day by day and it is not possible to stop using vehicle or electricity or any other means, which are increasing carbon emissions. Carbon offsets are alternative for that and must be given importance.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com">Global Carbon Care</a> seeks out projects that provide a benefit to the battle against carbon reduction that are considered additional to ‘business as usual’. What this means is that we do not seek to invest in programs that are being implemented for the purpose of receiving offset revenues. Rather, we look for programs that are brought about for the sake of reversing an existing practice that is harmful to the environment or to provide an alternative, more productive and less damaging method of performing an activity that can be easily adopted.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Why would one person spend their money to reduce another person’s carbon emissions? The answer is simple – because the buyer, their family, their community and their future generations are direct beneficiaries of the result.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Clean air and <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com">greenhouse gas emissions </a>are not a localized issue. If you make a change in one part of the world, the benefits come back to you. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">We have one Earth that we inherited from previous generations and will hand over to future generations. How we care for it today will help determine the enjoyment and fruitfulness of what it will yield for future generations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Often people are so consumed with the hectic lifestyle that today provides them that they do not take the time to even think about next week, let alone future generations. A simple look out the window or a walk outside once in a while is all it takes to see what almost all of us take for granted – breathable air and vegetation (unless you live in the desert). These things are in jeopardy for future generations unless we start acting on it now.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">If things continue to unfold on the same path we have charted as of today, we are setting ourselves up to be remembered as the generation that ruined the Earth. It will not take much to change the course, we just need to act sooner than later to ensure that the path is changed in time to alter the dire environmental fate that will be the burden of <a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com">future generations.</a></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"><strong><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/">Global Carbon Care</a></strong> was founded to help accelerate the cause of finding an existence of equilibrium between the earth and its inhabitants. </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">By providing a vehicle to make a difference for those are able to do so, Global Carbon Care hopes to provide individuals and businesses with the ability to make good on their social responsibility to preserve the earth for future generations.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">We need to deal with the challenge of dealing with the impact of carbon emissions is an area that has been long overlooked by the global community. Many nations have made strides to promote the need to <strong><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/">Reduce Carbon Emissions</a></strong>. It&#8217;s time to wake up and explore how you can make a difference in the battle against the environmentally damaging effects of <strong>carbon emissions</strong>. To <strong>reduce the carbon Emissions </strong>every country should take help of <strong>Carbon Offsets</strong>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Before understanding about Carbon Offsets. Let’s understand about carbon. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">About Carbon</span></span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">: &#8211; </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">With the Atomic rank 6 and with atomic symbol C. Carbon is a nonmetallic element distributed widely in the form of <strong>amorphous, graphite, and diamond</strong>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">About Carbon Offsets</span></span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">: -<span> </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Understanding <strong>carbon offsetting</strong> is reasonably simple. <strong>Carbon dioxide emissions</strong> are caused by the burning of fossil: fuels: oil, coal and natural gas. Every individual on earth is responsible for carbon dioxide emissions through the use of energy. Energy is consumed in many fashions from road; air, rail and sea travel to heating/cooling our homes from watching TV to reading with the lights on, and beyond. The fact is we need to use energy to function in a civil society. However, energy supply is finite and we must reduce and replenish what we use if we expect to keep our planet healthy for centuries to come. That’s where carbon offsetting comes into play. Carbon offsetting is also considered as the act of offsetting gas emissions. Common example of carbon offsetting or the use of carbon offsets is the purchase of &#8220;carbon offsets&#8221; in an attempt to compensate for the carbon dioxide production caused by personal air travel.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">About Carbon Emissions:</span></strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"> &#8211; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">It is the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The emission of carbon is the single greatest contributor to global warming. Carbon emissions are not a localized issue – emissions in one part of the world have an effect on the climate and quality of air around the globe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=44&amp;Itemid=217">Why we should use Carbon Offsets?</a></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align:justify;">The challenge of dealing with the impact of carbon emissions is an area that has been long overlooked by the global community.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">Many nations have made strides to promote the need to reduce emissions by providing a forum for individuals, households and businesses to contribute to the cause against <strong>global carbon emissions</strong> through voluntary offsets.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight:normal;">Why</span> <span style="font-weight:normal;">to Reduce emissions</span>?</h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;"><strong><a href="http://www.globalcarboncare.com/">Global Carbon Care</a></strong> provides a way for you, your family, your business, and your community, to offset the carbon emissions that cannot be eliminated. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:&quot;">In short, the offsets you purchase will significantly reduce emissions somewhere else in the world, possibly in your own country. The effects of reduction in one part of the world impact everyone else who shares the planet. Thus, an <strong>offset project</strong> in one country could have 100 times the positive effect in another country and take a much larger step toward reducing global carbon emissions than an individual can achieve by reduction alone.</span></p>
