About Us
LiveNeutral is an independent grassroots, nonprofit organization founded in the summer of 2005 at the Presidio School of Management. Our mission is to foster education and action around the imminent problems of greenhouse gas emissions. We help make it easy for individuals and organizations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions while participating in innovative market-based solutions to global climate change.
LiveNeutral offers everyone the power to help reduce the negative impact of climate change. From individuals to businesses, from nonprofits to schools, we help calculate and neutralize global warming emissions. By no means does LiveNeutral consider carbon offsets the main solution for global warming. But it’s a great way to drive innovation and start addressing global warming today. As you review your personal emissions, we encourage you to review the Footprint Reduction Tips pages and learn how to make a difference in your everyday life.
Scientists have concluded that transportation has an impact on global warming. For example, the transportation sector in the United States produces more global warming emissions than most other country’s total economy. That’s why we focus our website on driving and flying emissions.
The DriveNeutral calculator and offsets are committed to providing drivers the opportunity to neutralize the potential impact of climate change. By neutralizing your vehicle’s emissions through DriveNeutral, you will be supporting projects that are reducing climate-changing emissions today while building innovation for a brighter tomorrow.
The FlyNeutral calculator and offsets are committed to reducing the climate change impact of flights we take for work and pleasure throughout the year. While the only way to reduce your carbon footprint from flying is to fly less, FlyNeutral can help you take positive action on the flights you choose to take.
LiveNeutral purchases emissions credits for all of its offset projects through the Chicago Climate Exchange because of the demonstrated effectiveness of its members in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, many CCX members, such as DuPont, are exceeding their emissions reduction targets.
The threat of global climate change can be mitigated if greenhouse gas emissions are reduced globally and we each join together to do our part.
