What is Carbon Harmony?

The mission of Carbon Harmony is to counteract climate change so that a lifestyle, a product, an event, a business or a project actually has a reducing effect on the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the environment. Carbon Harmony projects go beyond carbon neutrality. By offsetting more GHG than a project emits, a net reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) is emitted in the atmosphere. Live in harmony with the planet today.

Carbon Harmony is a trademark of Sustainable Energy Partners LLC. Sustainable Energy Partners has offset 150% of its emissions via carbon credits for 2006. The 2007 calculations will be done at the end of the year. Our Carbon Harmony service includes a full analysis of your carbon footprint and the purchase of carbon credits for you so that your lifestyle, company or special event can become carbon neutral. Show your commitment to sustainability by offsetting the carbon dioxide emissions generated by your lifestyle, company or special event. We live in a carbon emitting society and we have the means to make a difference.

How does a carbon credit work?

Carbon credits offset carbon emissions in one place by eliminating it from another place. This produces a net carbon output of zero. Sustainable Energy Partners is an exchange participant in the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX). CCX is the world's first and North America's only greenhouse gas emission reduction and trading system. For every ton of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) credits purchased, one ton of CO2 is removed from the waste stream. When looking at all of the greenhouse gases, CO2 is the main culprit of climate change. CO2 gas is referred to as a "greenhouse gas" because it allows sunlight to enter the atmosphere and, like the glass of a greenhouse, it keeps the heat trapped inside. This warms up the planet. CO2 is the major cause of climate change in the world.
