CarbonCool

Cool your carbon consequences with CarbonCool, AIGA’s unique carbon offset program for designers and their studios. You can offset your individual lifestyle, your family’s lifestyle, the impact of your studio or even a single flight.
 
The cost of offsets includes two expenses:

• AIGA’s direct investment in carbon-reducing projects through one of its partners. In 2008, AIGA partnered with Carbonfund.org for its Save the Forest project, which strives to reforest an area in Nicaragua larger than Central Park and will sequester 150,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

• An informational campaign on sustainable practices for AIGA members, the design community, the business community and the public.

AIGA does not use any portion of the offset purchase fees for staff costs, overhead or indirect expenses.
 
The offsets offered are estimates based on reasonable profiles of activity levels, calculated using systematic analytic tools. Estimates will vary depending upon assumptions.
 
As an AIGA CarbonCool participant, you will receive a CarbonCool-branded, embossed certificate and an easel to display your commitment, as well as the permission to use the digital AIGA CarbonCool logo for one year.
