Rhode Island Novelty is proud to claim that we now ship carbon neutral through carbon offsetting strategies provided by SCS Global Services. A carbon offset is a reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide, or other greenhouse gases, to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. By purchasing these carbon offsets, we are able to neutralize current and future shipping emissions in order to benefit our planet.
Carbon neutral, otherwise known as carbon neutrality, refers to achieving a net zero carbon dioxide emission through acts of balancing carbon emission with an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide savings elsewhere in the world. With the growing climate crisis, one innovative strategy to combat carbon dioxide emissions is to pursue a Carbon Neutral Program. The Carbon Neutral Program aims to offset carbon emissions from transportation vehicles (i.e.vehicles used to ship RI Novelty products). Extensive data collection and analysis helps determine the amount of carbon emissions to offset by either planting trees or investing in clean green energy.
