Carbon TanzaniaWhat if there were an organization that rose to the occasion to help companies and communities dramatically reduce their carbon footprints? A company with the hope and conviction that with a joint effort and a passion for the earth and its fragile eco-systems, we could create a healthier, more sustainable living environment for all. This company is Carbon Tanzania.

Dedicated to protecting the wildlife and rehabilitating the habitat of Tanzania and the earth as a whole, Carbon Tanzania has established a program and several branch projects that enable local Tanzanian communities to thrive and businesses to seek and implement effective strategies to dramatically reduce these harmful emissions.

Below is a breakdown of how Carbon Tanzania helps local Tanzanian communities and how it helps companies:

Local Communities: Employing large quantities of local villagers to maintain and plant tree seedlings, Carbon Tanzania helps communities establish effective economic and environmentally sustainable practices. When these locals are employed, Carbon Tanzania provides them with training sessions and project baseline scenarios that enable the locals to establish highly valuable skills that can be used for additional personal success in the future.

By establishing these reforestation projects and employing the native Tanzanians, Carbon Tanzania hopes to ensure a long term solution to environmental and community finance issues.

Companies: Consider all of the combined carbon emissions produced by businesses around the world. Off the top of your head, it might not seem to be that much, but when you factor in staff vehicle fuel consumption, outside deliveries, employee (and sometimes client) air travel, electricity costs, paper usage, and office cleaning materials, the estimations often expand dramatically.

Carbon Tanzania offers all types of businesses, camps, lodges, and safari providers, the opportunity to have a Greenhouse Gas Audit performed on their company. The results of this audit enable companies to establish a visual on their emissions, implement effective emission reduction strategies, and reduce their carbon footprint.

A Greenhouse Gas Audit can detect a company’s global and local impact and it can also detect an individual’s personal impact on the environment.

In addition to helping local communities and eco-systems thrive, as well as helping companies to reduce their carbon emissions, Carbon Tanzania also partners with local organizations that are interested in managing natural resources, helping communities become sustainable, and developing reforestation projects.
