2. What is a Carbon Footprint
• The carbon footprint is a measurement of
all greenhouse gases we individually
produce
• World target to combat Global Warming:
2 tons per person
• Typical Canadian footprint:
20 tons per person
3. This is what that
looks like….
Canada
vs.
World Target
4. Calculating Tom’s carbon footprint
• Owns a small car for out of town trips
• Cycles to work
• Eats vegetarian occasionally
• Does a lot of things an average Canadian
does!
8. Inconvenient indeed…!
• But I decided to act…..
• I switched my home to renewable energy
• I did away with our car
• I now eat local and organic when available
• I installed new windows
• I did all those things you are supposed to
do….
20. Just to recap…
Before I was aware
After seeing
An Inconvenient Truth
After my travels
21. So what could I do?
• I had heard about Carbon Offsets…
• But what are those?
22. Carbon Offsets
• By investing in offsets you contribute to
energy efficiency programmes around the
globe.
• This ensures that the same amount of
carbon your flights produce is prevented
from entering the atmosphere in the first
place.
23. So I bought carbon offsets…
• It cost me CA$175
• To cover all those flights
25. Now it is up to you!
• Educate your clients
• Offer carbon offsets
• Close the offset sale
Let’s make our
business
sustainable!
