Carbon Reduction Certificate Program

The purchase of a $25 Carbon Reduction Certificate allows donors to help meet lower carbon pollution standards. For every $25 donated, the Adirondack Council will permanently retire one carbon emission allowance from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Every allowance retired is a ton of pollution that power plants will never be allowed to emit. The proceeds of these certificate sales will help support the continued purchase and retirement of pollution allowances, the Council’s outreach and advocacy to address climate change in the Adirondacks, and the Adirondack Farm Micro-Grants program.

Donors receive a certificate explaining how their donation is helping to protect public health, clean water, wildlife, and ecologically sensitive places like the Adirondack Park. Donors have the option of receiving a certificate suitable for framing, made out to whomever they wish.
