TLC is excited to announce our new carbon footprint calculator,  providing a simple way to measure your impact on the environment by estimating your annual green house gas emissions. You can choose to measure the emissions associated with your car, flights, home life, and dietary choices. Once you have calculated your personal or family’s carbon emissions in tonnes per year, you have the opportunity to offset your carbon footprint by donating to TLC. A carbon offset is a means to compensate for the greenhouse gas pollution we all emit through our daily lives by preventing or reducing the same amount of pollution from occurring elsewhere.

Wildwood

Each dollar you donate through our carbon calculator goes directly towards lowering green house gas emissions. Every acre of forested or undeveloped land that TLC protects acts as a carbon sink, sequestering tonnes of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere. An average tree in the temperate zone, found between the tropics and the polar circles, can remove and store anywhere from 700 to 7,000 pounds of carbon over its lifetime. If you multiply that number over thousands of acres throughout the province the positive impact of protecting B.C’s natural areas becomes clear.
