Online Shoppers Now Able to Offset their Carbon Footprint For Free

Users shopping through a new price comparison website can now offset and track their own carbon footprint in their account online for free

October 20, 2008 - Press Dispensary - Compare2offset.com is a new price comparison website that offsets your carbon footprint for every purchase you make through the website. Users can browse thousands of products from well-known online retailers and find the retailer with the cheapest price. Users can also use Compare2offset as a gateway to go directly to the online retailers they planned to buy from. Compare2offset will then offset their carbon footprint; this amount is clearly displayed next to each product or retailer. Every purchase made at the retailer is tracked and displayed in their account, with details of the amount of their carbon footprint that has been offset.

Everyday purchases from DVDs, clothes or even chocolate can be purchased through the site. Plus essentials such as insurance, applying for a credit card or buying your broadband package. There are also eco-friendly retailers allowing devoted green enthusiasts to purchase environmentally friendly products and offset their carbon footprint at the same time. Compare2offset is able to offset carbon footprints by using the sales commission they receive from purchases made through their website. This comes at no extra cost to the user; the price at the retailer never changes.

The founder of Compare2offset.com, Steven Bradshaw, commented "The current financial climate may mean many people are cutting back, but luckily this does not mean they can not continue being green. Offsetting your carbon footprint usually comes at a cost, but now you can offset your carbon footprint for free and compare the prices of products to find the cheapest price, saving you even more money."

"There are also many people who are not yet actively reducing their carbon footprint or being more energy efficient. Now there's no reason not to be greener as it comes at no extra cost to users. We hope to attract users who may not yet have thought about the affects of their carbon footprint, or even know what this is. At first they may only be interested in finding the best deals and cheapest prices for whatever they want to buy online at Compare2offset. However, with so much information and an ethos to offset your carbon footprint, hopefully by using the website people will learn about the importance of carbon offsetting too."

Whether you are already actively reducing your carbon footprint or have never thought about it before, now you can offset your carbon footprint everytime you shop online without digging into your own pockets. Bookmark Compare2offset.com today and remember to visit whenever you shop online.
