Within a few minutes of your purchase, we will send you a certificate verifying your purchase and detailing how much greenhouse gas you have destroyed. Additionally, we periodically group purchases and make “retirements” of credits. “Retiring” a carbon credit means that when it is purchased it is taken off the market forever—never to be traded or swapped again. This way, only the purchaser of the carbon credit can ever claim to have reduced emissions. They cannot, for example, claim they’ve reduced emissions and then re-sell the credit. On a regular basis we retire credits for clients and/or individual customers. Each credit has its own serial number, and can be tracked on a variety of different registries where projects, and all of their individual credits are listed publicly. You will be able to see notes on each retirement in each registry around the world.
