Many worldwide pet parents have begun to wonder about their furry friend´s impact on the planet.
An average dog (15 kg weight) annually generates 630 kilos of CO2e carbon emissions.
The environmental impact of our dogs & cats has been deeply analysed and most studies take into consideration the impact that pet food, excrement, small and even small treats that we give them... on Climate change (Co2e), ozone depletion (CFC-11e), human toxicity (CTUh), terrestrial eutrophication, freshwater and marine eutrophication, freshwater ecotoxicity etc...
No dog breed, nor cat breed is the same and that is why they have a different impact on the Planet´s Climate. Their weight and their age, among other factors, have an impact on their pawprint, that is why it is so important to contract with a specialist.
Our selection process of Co2 offsetting projects and the investments related to them, are carried out without intermediaries, by so achieving the highest Co2e compensation from our clients purchase.
Each Co2e Offsetting transaction and its associated value are published and accessible to anyone.

Funds being provided by our clients are only invested in UN certified Co2e offsetting projects such as:
+ Forestation & Reforestation Projects
+ Coal-based electricity generation replacement by wind power and solar power plants
When I found out that living with Michi had such an impact on the environment, I was worried, but since I discovered EcoPawpet and bought my certificate I am doubly happy, for him and for me.
Once you have done the purchase, you will receive by email the Compensation Certificate corresponding to your pet. Within 72 hours you will receive confirmation of the official certificate from the United Nations and your Co2 compensation will be published on the web. Check an example of a real certificate by clicking here.
The funds that you contribute are invested in projects that help offset CO2 emissions, such as tree plantations in desertification areas, replacement of coal-fired electricity generation with wind and/or solar power plants...
Meat components of most dog food imply that our pet's diet generates a direct impact on Co2, equivalent to the production and transformation of the food.
The management of dogs excrement (solid and liquid) has an impact on categories such as the eutrophication of water, apart from the impact generated by the activity carried out by municipal cleaning teams
The collection of excrement by pet owners has a mostly positive impact on the environment, but it also generates a collateral impact on Co2 derived from the use of plastic bags to collect them. At the same time, gifts and toys provided to pets have their own production chain with their corresponding carbon footprint.

Because trees use carbon dioxide to build their trunks, branches, roots, and leaves, they are natural carbon absorbers and help clean the environment.
In general terms, a tree can absorb about 21 kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
Therefore, to offset the average annual carbon footprint of a dog (630 kilos of Co2e), it will be necessary to plant 30 trees.
This project involves the construction of a hydroelectric power plant on the upper reaches of the Sigatoka river headwaters, in the interior of Viti Levu Island of Fiji.
The main objective is to contribute to the environmental sustainability by increasing the renewable energy’s share of the total Fijian electricity consumption and by so contributing to the reduction of the greenhouse-gas emission factor of Fiji’s energy system.
The purpose of the project activity is to utilize renewable solar energy for generation of electricity. The project involves the installation of 5 MWp Solar PV power project at village Gaon Talab, Tehsil Ichawar, district Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, India.
Our company is made up of a group of ecofriendly pet owners with a huge goal, to help offset all the CO2 emissions that our beloved pets generate on a daily basis.
We want to offer all pet parents, the easiest way to compensate OUR PLANET for the ecological impact that their pets are generating, without any guilt, but also without any doubt.
We aim to combat climate change by offering every responsible pet parent an easy access to carbon capture.
