We purchase our carbon offsets from the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF). BEF is a non-profit organization based in Portland, OR, whose mission is to support the development of renewable energy and watershed restoration while empowering people to shrink their carbon footprint. The price we charge to you is the same price as if you were to buy the offset directly from BEF. Currently, the pricing for carbon offsets is $26.65 per ton of carbon that is offset. Because we buy in bulk, we obtain discounts that allow us to cover our expenses and to grow Green Shipping.

We combine all the Green Shipping shipment offsets that have been purchased each week and purchase a block of carbon offsets at the end of each week. By April 15th of each year, greenshipping.com publishes an independent audit report verifying that customer purchases were fulfilled according to our terms of use statement.
