Carbon Offset Bird Project 2013

Carbon Offset Bird Project

Funds from this project will be used for additional vegetation for the restoration of 15 acres of valuable bird habitat at the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge  ‘Boss Unit’. 

This restoration will include:
-         a transition area with sedge meadow
-         a zone of native warm-season grasses
-         trees and shrubs for wind-break and added bird habitat

Calculate your birding carbon footprint for the Midwest Birding Symposium 2013, and indicate your “offset contribution” for the project:

Roundtrip travel to this event (offset calculated at $20 per ton)

            [     ]    $5        Low – car travel (under 600 miles)
            [     ]    $10     Moderate – car travel (over 600 miles)
            [     ]    $25     High – air travel and car

CO2 offset for all birding trips for the next year:
            [     ]  $50         [     ]  $100         [     ]  $150         [     ]  $200      

     Or:    $                        for a general contribution or a carbon offset as calculated from the longer COBP carbon offset table.

                                                                                TOTAL ENCLOSED:  $                                         

               The average person in the U.S. generates 27 tons of carbon emissions yearly.
