Balance Your Life
Welcome! Most experts agree global warming is caused by greenhouse gases released into our atmosphere through human activity. Automobiles, aircraft, power generating facilities, etc.; all have an impact.
We all have a carbon footprint related to the activities mentioned above and related to many of our other activities.
By voluntarily reducing or eliminating our personal carbon emissions through carbon offsets, that is, paying for reductions made elsewhere, we are providing a solution to global warming and making it possible for others to reduce their carbon emissions on a very large scale.
We thank you for letting Earth Preserver be a part of your effort to stop global warming, lessen emissions and reduce pollution.

- Today’s carbon dioxide levels are at their highest level in recorded history (650,000 yrs.)
- Did you enjoy that cheeseburger you had for lunch yesterday? It took 5 lbs. of CO2 to get it to you – James Cascio -, “The Cheeseburger Footprint”
- The average American is responsible for over 44,000 lbs of carbon dioxide emissions per year- about 20 metric tons.
- Lots of people think climate change and the ecological responses are 50 to 100 years away. It’s happening now in forest ecosystems through fire.” Dr. Thomas Swetnam, Professor, University of Arizona.
- We can begin to mitigate climate change by supporting clean technologies, carpool or use public transport, switch to renewable resources, use resources wisely, and offset our energy use each year.
- The Fourier effect? Jean Baptist Fourier was a French mathematician and Physicist. He is credited with discovering, in 1827, that atmospheric gases might increase the surface temperature of the earth. This is now called “The Greenhouse Effect”.
- For every 10,000 people who use recycled copier paper, we can save 12,000 trees.
- The average American is responsible for over 20 metric tons of C02 per year.
- Each summer in the 1980s, sea ice receded 30-50 miles off the north coast of Alaska, “now we’re talking 300-500 miles” – James Overland, NOAA.
