Jane Burston (Carbon Retirement)

Entrepreneurs: Jane Burston

Business: Carbon Retirement

Location: London

Business Description

Carbon Retirement is the most effective method of offsetting because it is the only way you can be 100% sure that the emission reduction you pay for will take place.

It is also a more ethical method because it encourages long-term behavioural change where the real issue is – in the developed world. It reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and moves us more swiftly to a low carbon economy.
