If you or anyone you know would like to purchase carbon offsets — perhaps as a gift, or to offset emissions from holiday travel, conferences, or business practices — contact the City of Arcata Environmental Services Department! We can retire verified emission-reduction offsets in the name of the individual or business for whom the carbon offsets were purchased. The purchaser can arrange for the recipient to receive either an email or a printed certificate acknowledging the retirement of the offsets with the unique serial number issued by the Climate Action Reserve. For just $11.00 per metric tonne (or $10/each if you buy 10 or more), you can reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere equivalent to the emissions from a round trip flight from SFO to JFK, or driving a midsized car 2,000 miles.

C/R Code 452

Arcata Community Forest Carbon offsets are certificates that represent a reduction of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Projects that prevent the release of greenhouse gases earn these credits, which can then in turn be sold to other businesses and Northern Spotted individuals to Owl voluntarily offset the emissions they generate. One carbon offset is equivalent to saving of one metric tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2). By ensuring that carbon from these trees will remain sequestered within the Community Forest in perpetuity, the City of Arcata is showing how sustainable forest management can be part of the solution to dealing with climate change.
