By purchasing carbon credits, Australian Ethical can offset our emissions through worthwhile projects, resulting in an offset of 149.5 tCO2-e in FY15. The total emissions, which include greenhouse gases from energy and travel, will be offset by projects in Mali and Cambodia. These projects will replace highly polluting traditional cookstoves with more fuel efficient stoves, which require significant amounts of wood and charcoal, leading to increased desertification and CO2 emissions from burning these fuels. Additionally, traditional stoves also contribute to indoor air pollution, which is linked to eye diseases.
