Everything you buy – from cleaning solutions to cars – make up over 50 per cent of the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. CarbonCounted is part of a strategy to conquer climate change by reducing this portion of your carbon footprint .

At the grocery store, on the web, at the mall, wherever you buy a product or service, you might find the CarbonCounted carbon label.

Products and services that display the label have measured how much carbon dioxide (and carbon dioxide equivalents) is released to make that product or deliver that service.

For example, the carbon label below represents 1575kg carbon dioxide released into the environment:

When you find a carbon label like this, you’ll know you’ve found a manufacturer who cares about the environment. Once they’ve measured, most businesses will also look for ways to reduce the number. This label will act as a bridge between carbon conscience companies and their customers.
