HARBOUR IT GOES GREEN

Harbour IT is proud to announce that we have recently invested in REDD Carbon Credits.

A REDD Carbon Credit (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) is a carbon market mechanism created to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries. By investing in these credits, Harbour IT is doing their bit to save the planet from climate change, save the rainforests, protect the earth's rich biodiversity and empower some of the most impoverished communities in the world.
Just some of the things that REDD Carbon Credits assists with are as follows:

Rainforest20% of the world's Green House Gas emissions come from the destruction or our rainforests. We have already destroyed over 78% of our world's forests. If we are to be successful in stopping climate change we must save the world's rainforests. REDD Carbon Projects (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) are the vital key to saving these unique resources.

Biodiversity
The irreversible loss of Biodiversity through rainforest destruction is threatening our earth's ecology. The extinction of species is accelerating at a rate 1000 times anything seen before on this planet. We are losing 137 plant and animal species every single day. As the rainforests disappear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases.

PeopleForests are essential to the well-being of the world's poorest societies. As our rainforests disappear at an alarming rate, so do the homes, sources of livelihood and the rich cultures of millions of the poorest people on earth. Funds from BR REDD credits must be invested to achieve positive social equity outcomes for these rainforest communities.

Harbour IT is rewarded with the knowledge that we are helping to reduce our carbon footprint in a way that is not only environmentally responsible, but which provides assistance to the poorest people of the world.
