How does SRC take responsibility
for our own emissions?
SRC tracks tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions through work-related travel mileage. Fortunately, the routine work we do makes this simple to calculate and our annual totals remain low. However, local travel is essential to SRC’s work and mission, so we are choosing to contribute to a carbon project to offset our current impact while keeping reducing emissions our long-term priority.
Our offsetting partner
As an organization based in the Midwest, our goal is that all our emissions—both positive and negative—stay close to home. For this reason, we have chosen to partner with Anew Climate to contribute to a nature-based, American Carbon Registry-verified project in Bayfield, Wisconsin. Anew Climate’s Bayfield County Forest Project is the best fit for our offsetting goals:
Local, nature-based project committed to enacting positive change that has a clear effect on the environment
Offsetting funding benefits an entity unable to fund the project itself
Detailed project documentation is provided upfront
Project is verified through a top organization
Local economy directly benefits from the project
