About us

We were first inspired after discovering that most existing carbon offsetting schemes were designed to simply become carbon neutral.
We found that these schemes calculated how much to offset using a complicated carbon footprint calculator, however, each of these used different methods for their calculations, with many differing assumptions and estimates.They all gave different answers as to how much carbon you should be offsetting to be "Neutral". 
​
​We decided to create a simple solution, that doesn't waste time calculating a carbon footprint. A solution that just allows you to make a positive difference, and Become Carbon Negative.

What we do

The way we offset the carbon you are generating is very simple - by planting trees. 

Trees help clean the air we breathe and filter the water we drink. Trees provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity.
Our forests provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people worldwide, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, produce oxygen and provide key ingredients for medicines. 
​
Become Carbon Negative sources tree-planting activities all over the world, selecting only the best programs to help give back to the environment.

How we operate

Become Carbon Negative are a non-profit organisation with 100% of profits invested into planting trees.
​All of our staff are volunteers and we are a member of the National Council for Volunteer Organisations. You can find out more about volunteering opportunities here
