Please provide information on your vehicles to determine your ground transportation emissions.

Please note: In case it is easier for you to provide the total amount of gallons (gasoline, diesel and/or biodiesel) used by your business, you can do that in the "Energy" section later in the calculation.

 


Check ALL vehicles types your business uses.

Please Note: If you operate Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles, you will need to enter the the car twice. One time at the gasoline section (where you enter its gasoline consumption) and one time at the electric/plug-in hybrid section where you enter its electricity consumption.

"Your total business emissions" value represents an emission estimate of what your business produces within the determined time period to offer its services/products. Here are some values for your information to put it in perspective:

US national per capita average annual emissions: 16.5t (2014) 

Global per capita average annual emissions: 4.97t (2014)

{# pageNumbers}

Please select one offset option {{ Cognito.resources["required-asterisk"] }} , { binding firstError.message }
{ binding firstError.message }

Please note: We recommend to choose option two ONLY if your business produces large amounts of emissions PER customer (i.e. helicopter tours). For all other businesses, we recommend Option 1. Even though, Option 1 means, your business will pay for offset upfront, you can get your expense back by adding the offset cost to your service as a fee. Often, the offset cost per guest will be one to two dollar or less.

{# pageNumbers}

Offset Option 1

{ binding firstError.message }

Great. We appreciate your interest in how we operate. Here are a few things that might be of interest to you:

  • When you offset with CarbonBuddy at least 75% of your business' contribution will go towards projects. You can find more information on that in our annual reports. (The other 25% are used to develop new projects and bring our service to you)
  • By offsetting emissions with CarbonBuddy your business becomes the #solutiontoclimatechange and you are actively contributing to reduce future emissions and reduce negative impacts. You can also become involved even more if you want to. You can join the #ClimateBuddyMap (as one of the next steps), to put your business on a map exclusively for you as a carbon neutral organization.
  • If you are new to offsetting, we have an entire page dedicated to explain this concept to you. You can find out more here. (Basically you decide to personally support the transition towards renewable energy)
  • CarbonBuddy is a Kuleana Green Business Member of our local Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce
  • By offsetting with CarbonBuddy you support projects that reduce future emissions, sequester carbon and give business to an organization leading by example. We are operating carbon neutral since day one and do many other things to minimize our ecological footprint.
  • Find out more about our projects: www.carbonbuddy.com/projects

{ binding firstError.message }

By calcualting emissions for an entire year and offsetting 100% you are eligible for the #CarbonDashboard and ClimateBuddyLabel.




 

{ binding firstError.message }

By dividing the offset costs by the number of guests you serve/host for the time period you have calculated for, you will know how much you need to add to the price of your service. By doing that, your business will have no extra cost of being emission neutral.

{ binding firstError.message }

Offset Option 2

{ binding firstError.message }

Please note: We need to know, how many persons you serve each year to determine how much emissions you produce to provide your service to one person. If you are i. e. a tour provider simply enter the number guests you have annually since everybody will produce (or more or less) the same amount of emissions. If you are an accomodation provider, the emissions are based on the number of nights someone stays. Therefore, you need to enter the overall number of overnight stays you provide per year. In example if a family of four stays with you for four nights, it counts as 16 (4x4).


 

{ binding firstError.message }
{ binding firstError.message }

 

The "offset price for each guest..." is what each guest would need to pay in order to offset 100% of the emissions that are produced by the activity you provide/for each night he/she stays with you at a price of 20$/ton (the regular price for supporting local projects).

If this price is below $5 we recommend to choose option one instead of two. To do so, please go back one page.

If this price is above $5 you can continue with this offset option by continuing to the next page.


 

Why do we recommend option one for a offset price <$5?

Including an offset option in your booking process will add an aditional step for your customers with a seperate payment form. This additional processing and handling is not feasible for small amounts (processing for one dollar is already >$0.30). By selecting offset option one, your business will pay for the offset at once and you can then collect the offset back from your customers by adding a fee to your price which will not result in extra processing.

In addition, you will be able to market your operation as emission neutral since all emissions are offset.

By providing accurate information, you will learn about the emissions (in metric tons) your business produces to provide its service/product to your customers/guests for the time period set above.

Simply fill all fields that apply to you and leave others blank.

Please remember: The calculation is only as good as the data you enter!

Note: In case you wish to only determine emissions for a certain branch or product of your business operation, simply enter only information related to the specific branch or product.

First we need to know on which Island your business is located.

Please select one of our beautiful Islands {{ Cognito.resources["required-asterisk"] }} , { binding firstError.message }
{binding displayValue}
{ binding firstError.message }

If you have operations on more than one Island, it is best to calculate emissions seperate for each Island.

Please provide information on your vehicles to determine your ground transportation emissions.

Please note: In case it is easier for you to provide the total amount of gallons (gasoline, diesel and/or biodiesel) used by your business, you can do that in the "Energy" section later in the calculation.

 


Check ALL vehicles types your business uses.

Please Note: If you operate Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles, you will need to enter the the car twice. One time at the gasoline section (where you enter its gasoline consumption) and one time at the electric/plug-in hybrid section where you enter its electricity consumption.

Great. We appreciate your interest in how we operate. Here are a few things that might be of interest to you:

  • When you offset with CarbonBuddy at least 75% of your business' contribution will go towards projects. You can find more information on that in our annual reports. (The other 25% are used to develop new projects and bring our service to you)
  • By offsetting emissions with CarbonBuddy your business becomes the #solutiontoclimatechange and you are actively contributing to reduce future emissions and reduce negative impacts. You can also become involved even more if you want to. You can join the #ClimateBuddyMap (as one of the next steps), to put your business on a map exclusively for you as a carbon neutral organization.
  • If you are new to offsetting, we have an entire page dedicated to explain this concept to you. You can find out more here. (Basically you decide to personally support the transition towards renewable energy)
  • CarbonBuddy is a Kuleana Green Business Member of our local Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce
  • By offsetting with CarbonBuddy you support projects that reduce future emissions, sequester carbon and give business to an organization leading by example. We are operating carbon neutral since day one and do many other things to minimize our ecological footprint.

{binding displayValue}
{ binding firstError.message }

Please note: We need to know, how many persons you serve each year to determine how much emissions you produce to provide your service to one person. If you are i. e. a tour provider simply enter the number guests you have annually since everybody will produce (or more or less) the same amount of emissions. If you are an accomodation provider, the emissions are based on the number of nights someone stays. Therefore, you need to enter the overall number of overnight stays you provide per year. In example if a family of four stays with you for four nights, it counts as 16 (4x4).


 

Emissions produced per guest/per person and night (t) {{ Cognito.resources["required-asterisk"] }} , { binding firstError.message }
{ binding firstError.message }
Offset price for each guest per activity/night (US $): {{ Cognito.resources["required-asterisk"] }} , { binding firstError.message }
{ binding firstError.message }

 

The "offset price for each guest..." is what each guest would need to pay in order to offset 100% of the emissions that are produced by the activity you provide/for each night he/she stays with you at a price of 20$/ton (the regular price for supporting local projects).

If this price is below $5 we recommend to choose option one instead of two. To do so, please go back one page.

If this price is above $5 you can continue with this offset option by continuing to the next page.


 

Why do we recommend option one for a offset price <$5?

Including an offset option in your booking process will add an aditional step for your customers with a seperate payment form. This additional processing and handling is not feasible for small amounts (processing for one dollar is already >$0.30). By selecting offset option one, your business will pay for the offset at once and you can then collect the offset back from your customers by adding a fee to your price which will not result in extra processing.

In addition, you will be able to market your operation as emission neutral since all emissions are offset.

ClimateBuddyMap

One of our main drivers at CarbonBuddy is the concept of leading by example. However, these positive examples need to be known to encourage following. Therefore, we created the #ClimateBuddyMap as a platform to spread the word on climate action.
