When you go neutral with us, your money goes toward carbon offsets that balance your emissions. We use offsets from high quality projects that don’t just reduce emissions, but build a better Australia.
We choose projects that support our vision for a stronger, more sustainable Australia that helps the world fight climate change.
All the carbon credits that we use come from 100% Australian projects. Your money stays in Australia, and provides extra revenue to Australia’s farmers and regional communities. Carbon projects are an additional source of income which is a huge help for farmers already dealing with drought and a changing climate.
Using Australian carbon offsets also helps grow our carbon farming industry. You are not just rewarding those people who are doing the real work of fighting climate change. You are also sending a message that you want more and more farmers and land managers to join the fight too.
We choose projects that use natural, land-based methods to reduce emissions. This means growing and protecting trees, so that they capture and store carbon for years to come. It means changing how farmers manage their land, to allow the natural habitat regrow.
The great thing about using natural methods is that they also improve the land. Regrowing native bushlands reduces erosion, improves the soil, and increases natural habitat. Healthier grazing land means more food for livestock.
These are the ultimate no-regrets solutions.
How can you be sure that a project is really making a difference? We choose projects that follow international standard methods for carbon capture and emissions reduction. All our providers are registered with Australia's Clean Energy Regulator, and all projects are regularly and independently audited to ensure that the emission reductions are genuine and permanent.
We purchase the retirement of Australian Carbon Credit Units, which are publicly tracked in the Australian
National Registry
of Emissions Units.
Can going neutral really make an impact? Yes! And as more people go neutral, our impact will grow and grow.
Our goal is to make a million cars carbon neutral. You can help by going neutral, and by spreading the word!
Our next milestone: 5000 cars gone neutral.
We're just getting started! Every sticker helps spread the word and helps more people take action. There are almost 20 million cars in Australia, and they can all go neutral.
Our first milestone: 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by Australian projects.
Every tonne helps reduce the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, one of the primary causes of global warming.
Across Australia, people are doing the hard work of capturing emissions. They are the real climate heroes. We're proud to show you who we work with.
This project is regenerating over 15,000 hectares of native forest across two merino sheep properties near Bourke in New South Wales. Considering an International Rugby field is about one hectare – that’s a pretty big area!
Most of the land is sandy red country mixed with flat plains of black soil, which now hosts regenerating forest alongside a healthy and happy herd of about 3,000 merino sheep. By introducing better land management and improving things like fences, the project has reduced grazing pressure and allowed the native forest to thrive. Native forest and super-soft merino wool? Don’t mind if I do!
If you ever imagined resting by a billabong under the cool shade of a Eucalypt tree, you may have just pictured this project. It sits on what’s known as semi-open flooded country, crisscrossed with channels and billabongs that are fed by the Paroo River, Cuttaburra and Kulkyne.
Sounds like a paradise doesn’t it? Unfortunately, rangeland goats, feral pigs and foxes thought so too, which put the native bushland under severe pressure. Thanks to this project – and for the best part of the last decade - 20,000 hectares of bush has been carefully protected and nurtured. The regenerating forest provides much needed habitat for native wildlife, shelter for livestock, and ensures the billabongs and eucalypts still look just like you imagined.
This project lies north of Bourke in New South Wales and is home to around 3,000 merino sheep alongside 12,500 hectares of regenerating acacia woodland and eucalypt forest.
The landscape here has it all – open woodlands and shrublands with a vast array of native grasses, trees and shrubs – some of which produce stunning wildflowers depending on the time of year.
The project has invested in water infrastructure to spread grazing pressure and better manage livestock, as well as state-of-the-art fencing to keep feral animals out and allow native plant life to regenerate. This in turn improves biodiversity in the area all while absorbing CO2 and storing carbon for years to come. What’s not to love?
Sitting on ancient land within Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef catchment area, the Catchment Conservation Alliance Great Barrier Reef Initiative Site 3 project is regenerating 2,300 hectares of native forest on land that’s historically been cleared for pasture. These days Eucalypt and Acacia trees are flourishing, providing shade for cattle and a thriving habitat for native wildlife including bearded dragons, blue-tongue lizards, galahs and wallabies. What’s more, by improving water retention on the land and reducing top-soil runoff, this project also directly improves water quality flowing to the Great Barrier Reef.
When it comes to carbon offsetting, it's hard to know what to trust. Here are all the details of the carbon credits that have been retired on Go Neutral's behalf. If you would like more information, please contact us and we'll be happy to share!
