A Carbon Neutral Ontario Science Centre World Congress

Vancouver, B.C. – The Ontario Science Centre is taking its commitment to fighting climate change to the next level by making its 5th World Congress carbon neutral. As Canada’s premier provider of high quality carbon offsets, Offsetters was engaged by the centre to help them achieve the event’s carbon neutral status.

As a result of purchasing carbon credits from Offsetters, Carbon Neutral Society, the Science Centre World Congress, has neutralized its carbon footprint. They instituted a “Green Levy” that financed the carbon credits, which represent an investment in next generation energy systems. These innovative alternatives to fossil fuels produce real, additional and permanent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to the benefit of our climate and our communities.

The carbon credits for this event were generated from new energy projects, such as the replacement of charcoal stoves with solar powered ones in West Africa, the installation of biomass boilers in commercial greenhouses and groundsource heatpump installations.
