One bad reason to offset with Climate Stewards

1. Offsetting is no excuse for 'business as usual'. We all have to learn to live better on low carbon as well.

Note: Climate Stewards is part of A Rocha which is a charity. When you offset with us you are making a donation, not buying anything.

Our projects absorb CO₂ as well as supporting local communities and vulnerable wildlife. We account for CO₂ over the life of the project.
