Every action we take leaves a mark on the planet. Some footprints fade, while others linger for centuries. Your Carbon Legacy is the lasting environmental impact of your lifestyle, choices, and the carbon emissions you leave behind. Whether you're an individual, a family, or a business, the time to think about your legacy is now.

A Carbon Legacy refers to the cumulative carbon emissions tied to your personal consumption, energy use, travel, food, and the long-term impact of your family’s or business’s future emissions. It's more than just your current carbon footprint—it's a projection of the emissions you influence across generations.
For example, having children in high-emission societies can significantly multiply your long-term carbon legacy, as their lifestyles and choices carry forward your environmental influence. Similarly, businesses that rely heavily on fossil fuels or unsustainable practices can create carbon legacies that persist far beyond their operational years.

By understanding your carbon legacy, you gain clarity on how your current habits contribute to long-term climate outcomes—and what steps you can take to change the course.
Reducing your carbon legacy starts with changing how you live, consume, and influence others. Here are a few key ways to make a meaningful shift:
Drive Less and Drive Cleaner: Switch to public transport, biking, walking, or electric vehicles.
Eat Sustainably: Choose plant-rich diets and reduce meat consumption.
Use Renewable Energy: Power your home or business with solar, wind, or green energy providers.
Offset Emissions: Invest in certified carbon offset programs to neutralize your impact.
Support Eco-Friendly Brands: Choose companies that value sustainability, transparency, and circular economy practices.
Educate and Inspire: Teach your children, employees, and community about low-carbon living.
A positive carbon legacy means leaving behind cleaner air, preserved forests, healthier oceans, and a livable climate. It’s about taking responsibility not just for your lifetime, but for the ripple effect of your influence.
The good news? It’s never too late to shift the direction of your legacy.
Your Carbon Legacy is more than a statistic—it's a story. A story of how you lived, what you valued, and how you chose to protect the Earth for those who follow. The future isn’t written yet. Let’s make sure the legacy we leave behind is one worth celebrating.
