Carbon Offsetting

Fight Global Warming   - reduce your carbon footprint and promote clean energy and sustainable solutions to poverty 

What is Carbon Offsetting Each of our everyday actions consumes energy and produces carbon dioxide emissions e.g. taking holiday flights, driving our cars, heating or cooling our homes and offices. 

Carbon Offsets can be used to compensate for the emissions produced by funding an equivalent carbon dioxide saving somewhere else. 

 Voluntary carbon offsetting with Team Kenya can reduce the impact of our actions, help raise awareness of the issues and create brighter future for young people in Kenya including orphans and people living with HIV/AIDS   

 Our Carbon offsetting scheme, includes providing ceramic Jiko’s  planting trees, and  providing training, advice & support to the community relating to  environmental conservation and protection , renewable energy including solar power, & sustainable development 

Traditional Cooking Methods - 3 stone cooking which uses a lot of wood and causes thick smoke and air pollution

Using ceramic Jiko’s and solar ovens can have a dramatic effect on energy usage, the environment and community health. The choking smoke from indoor wood fires causes respiratory disease--mainly pneumonia--which is the leading health hazard in Kenya and annually kills four to five million children worldwide 

 We may not be able to stop global warming, but we can help slow it down
