Within the past years the concept of sustainable development has been gradually applied in the companies in numerous sectors. Simultaneously, consumers become increasingly more aware of their impact on the natural environment. As a result, first companies were established which enable to off-set amount of CO2 produced at various stages of manufacturing and delivering services. Thanks to them, a responsible consumer may contribute to the projects which help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by donating chosen amount of money.
