Every one has a role to play. You can help achieve the goal of a carbon neutral Vancouver 2010 Winter Games in a few ways.

Understand your carbon footprint

If you understand the carbon footprint of your activities then you can take steps to avoid the activity - like choosing to take public transit instead of driving - or take responsibility for it by offsetting.

Determine your carbon emissions during the Games with our 2010 Travel and Accommodations Calculator.

Ways to offset

After you've calculated and reduced your emissions, you can:

• Receive a special Offsetters 2010 pin, when you purchase 1 tonne of carbon offsets from the 2010 Legacy Portfolio. Get your Offsetters 2010 pin.
• Offset your 2010 flight and accommodations and invest in the 2010 Legacy Portfolio. Offset now.
• Give the gift of 1tonne of carbon offsets to your friends, family or yourself, from the special 2010 Legacy Portfolio - a blend of BC-based clean technology and International Gold Standard projects. Purchase 1 tonne of carbon offsets.

Pass it on

The 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games embrace changes big and small in order to reduce their environmental impact. One of the best legacies would be increased awareness and action on the small changes everyone can make to reduce their impact on the environment.

Here are just a few ways you can pass it on:

• Share with your social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter about your support of a carbon neutral Games.
• Post a version of the 2010 Travel and Accommodation Calculator to your web site. Email us for the iframe code.
