The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined the average car in the USA produces 4.6 metric tons of carbon annually.
Each Zero5 certificate contains 5 carbon credits which represent 5 metric tons of carbon dioxide that is offset by your purchase.
Each carbon credit represents one metric ton of carbon dioxide which is kept out of the atmosphere. Credits are earned for trees that are planted or not cut down; or methane which is sequestered.
Carbon credits are contracts that represent global warming emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), avoided somewhere else on the planet. Credits are purchased by corporations that want to be environmentally friendly or consumers that want to have a carbon neutral lifestyle.
Our Zero5 certificate can be purchased annually and displayed on the window of your automobile showing you have purchased 5 metric tons of carbon credits in our effort to achieve a green future.
Each Zero5c certificate can be accessed on our website where you can register your ownership of this certificate.
Certificates are issued for the current year they represent; i.e., 2024-2025; 2025-2026, etc.
Certificates are available at various retailers and on our website.
