Carbon Offset facts

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_offset
    A carbon offset is a financial instrument representing a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
  • One carbon offset represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
  • There are two primary markets for carbon offsets. In the larger compliance market, companies, governments or other entities buy carbon offsets in order to comply with caps on the total amount of carbon dioxide they are allowed to emit.
    In the much smaller voluntary market, individuals, companies, or governments purchase carbon offsets to mitigate their own greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, electricity use, and other sources.
  • Offsets are typically generated from emissions-reducing projects. The most common project type is renewable energy, such as wind farms, biomass energy, or hydroelectric dams.
  • Other common project types include energy efficiency projects, the destruction of industrial pollutants or agricultural byproducts, destruction of landfill methane, and forestry projects
  • Purchase and withdrawal of emissions trading credits also occurs, which creates a connection between the voluntary and regulated carbon markets.
    Carbon offsetting as part of a "carbon neutral" lifestyle has gained some appeal and momentum mainly among consumers in western countries who have become aware and concerned about the potentially negative environmental effects of energy-intensive lifestyles and economies.
  • The commercial system has contributed to the increasing popularity of voluntary offsets among private individuals, companies, and organizations as well as investment in clean technologies, clean energy and reforestation projects around the world. Offsets may be cheaper or more convenient alternatives to reducing one's own fossil-fuel consumption. However, some critics object to carbon offsets, and question the benefits of certain types of offsets.

Gallery Problems

Here is my gallery where i have created thumbnail links of the images that will open in another web window. Problems that I have had with my gallery is that  the images were presented in one long vertical line, but this is because it was presented as seperate divs. overall looking at this page this is the one that i am most pleased with because of the linking between the thumbnail and external page link.

Mock ups


After researching the layout of other carbon offset sites i have produced my mock ups based around the layout of others. I feel that by using a neutral coloured background i am portraying the way in which we are making the world a better environment.

HTML Research


html stands for hyper text markup language and is used in a way of describing a text infomation document and converting it into a way of displaying the codes as a website by defineing links, headings, paragraphs, images and lists. 

The way in which html was developed took over nine years and two physicists. I say this because Tim Burners Lee who was a contractor for a major computer company proposed a prototype of a system where users could upload and share files. Then nine years later Robert Cailliau and Burners Lee both submitted a proposal for an internet hypertext system which had a similar function. Therefor the following year they joined forces and created the world wide web project which was then acepted by CERN.
