Your registration includes identifying information that will help you better enjoy the many features offered by the site, such as Exchange and Compensation Issues, and the possibility of financial gain with and Reseller Commission. So, fill in a correct and complete your registration, keeping it updated.

Personal Page

Homepage?

Your name, your photo, your country where you live, your personal balance emissions of CO2e (accumulating the results of calculation, Exchange, Clearing and sale) and his ranking points at the Climate and Best Friends. However, you can choose to keep his name anonymous, but this could reduce the use of tools on the site, for example, to join friends and enjoy the compensation committees on their transmission.

Virtual Community

What kind of communication can do with others?

You can send and receive messages (private) or send and receive messages (public), add friends, send and receive proposals for emissions trading or sale of carbon credits in addition to sending invitations to your friends make- to new users. Expanding your relationship, you become even stronger individual actions to reduce global warming and also will have more opportunities to obtain financial benefits within the site.

Emissions Calculation

Personal Carbonometro

Personal Carbonometro helps you in identifying the amount of CO2e emissions, also enabling you to discover different ways to reduce them in their day to day. You also earn more points for the club for the Climate Benefits and Best Friends to all questions are answered. Important: the latest calculation replaces the calculation result and the points generated by the previous calculation.

How can I update my information on Personal Carbonometro

If you have not finished filling out the calculator, the result of emissions remains open, but you can fix them or update them at any time. Once you have completed filling in either version of the calculator, you can only update the information after 30 days. This range is to ensure that, after receiving the complete profile of their issues, you have minimal time to make changes in your life and reduce their rate of CO2e.

Emissions Exchange

What are CO2e emissions?

Emissions of CO2e is the set of individual activities during a period of time converted into a single unit, the CO2e (equivalent) is always displayed on a per capita and should be compared with the average of the country where you live. The difference up or down from the average can be exchanged with other users.

What is the use of emissions trading with other users?

On emissions trading, giving or receiving of emissions generated points and who received further to whom he donated. Moreover, the exchange of emissions stimulates the connection with more friends, thus increasing their chances of earning commissions when they offset their own emissions of CO2e.

How emissions trading can help in the Maintenance Climate?

The financial benefits generated by the donation of virtual carbon credits stimulate a change in habits and assets in real life to reduce emissions of CO2e, for the next recalculation of emissions would likely appoint a lower level, closest to generate other credits virtual carbon. Through play and with financial benefits, you can attract many people to contribute to the reduction of Global Warming!

How does the Emissions Trading?

The Emissions Trading works simple: make sure your index CO2e is below average for your country. If yes, you can search any user of the site and make a simulation of the change - those who are above the national average will probably be most interested. If you are above the national average, you can search who's down and simulate an action of receiving broadcasts. In any situation, the simulation allows both know in advance how will the contents of CO2e, Climate ranking in Best Friends and points in the Advantage Club. Then you send the proposal for emissions trading and, after its acceptance by another user, rates, points and ranking change automatically.

Offset Emissions

What is the use of individual compensation of CO2?

There is already the marketing of carbon credits between companies and governments, but their effectiveness becomes limited by economic interests and ecological different (or even opposition) between countries. Personal CO2 Zero ® believes that a movement for environmental sustainability part of individuals - as consumers, voters or citizens - can promote a chain reaction that encourages companies, organizations and governments for increased efforts for environmentally sustainable actions.

If I buy products or services from companies with emissions of CO2e offset already, I do not need to offset for my individual issues?

The purchase of products or services with CO2e offset is already an important measure to combat global warming. However, its scope is limited to the market where the company operates, and with some effort, include its suppliers. When we promote the offsetting of emissions from the individual, we can reduce the emission of CO2e from various sectors at the same time (e.g., automotive, appliance, infrastructure, etc.).

Shouldn’t companies or the government pay for my CO2e emissions?

Most of our habits of consumption and use of natural resources also involve behavior of low environmental sustainability, either through ignorance, is the discomfort of promoting changes in our lifestyle. Therefore, we still have an important share of responsibility for the current climate scenario on the planet.

However, the good news is that the set of environmentally sustainable attitudes by the individual, including payment for its own transmission, reverse itself even in the short term in various financial benefits within the Personal CO2 Zero ® (discounts, commissions and revenue from resale ) and in the long term, stocks of companies, governments and institutions to benefit a growing number of consumers, environmentally conscious citizens and voters.

How do you calculate the offset cost?

How to calculate emissions by Personal Carbonometro is subject to deviations entry errors, the offset of individual issues considered only the average emissions of CO2e per capita of the country where the user lives. The calculation originates from the calculation of annual CO2e emissions by economic sectors most representative of each country.

Then, this amount is divided by the total population of the country, coming in per capita emissions of CO2e. The media of your country appears on your homepage and section Carbonometro of this site.

Finally, once we know the average per capita emissions of CO2e per year, the user chooses one or more carbon offset projects offered by Personal CO2 Zero ® to offset CO2 emissions from one or more years of his life, as your interest. Personal CO2 Zero ® offers a calculation tool for the user to define how much want to invest, as well as information about each project and a certificate of purchase

A Personal offers Zero CO2 offset projects through reforestation, forest maintenance and generation of clean energy.

However, whatever the choice, all the projects offered were previously selected and conferred by the Personal CO2 Zero ® or by regulatory agencies. It is also important to note that the entire sales process is audited by an independent and publicly registered on the Internet.
