The Offsetting Voucher
Any volunteer that comes to the Atlantic Whale and Dolphin Foundation, will receive a £50 voucher, from the Fair Earth Foundation, for you to donate to the following three programmes; Carbon Offsetting, Plastic Neutrality or the Earth Ambassador Programmes, in any combination you want to.
You can choose one area to support or, for example £10 can go towards offsetting your Carbon Footprint, £20 can go towards your Plastic Neutrality and £20 can go into our Earth Ambassador Programme, helping grassroots organisations around the world.
CARBON OFFSETTING
On all of our volunteer programmes, a part of the income received can go towards planting trees, for example, if you were to volunteer in Tenerife, the return flight from the UK uses 1.0 tonne of carbon per person, by using your £/€50 voucher, through our Plant a Tree, Fund a Dream programme, we can plant 50 trees, each of which will absorb 1 tonne of Carbon Dioxide over the next 40 years.
EARTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAMME
On all of our volunteer programmes, a part of the income received can go towards our Earth Ambassador Programme. Our work focuses around two key areas: Education and Enterprise, both of which are interlinked. The core belief is that individuals can and will make a difference in their communities and just need some help to get on their feet. Education and support in creating a successful enterprise are two of the most powerful drivers available to empower individuals.
PLASTIC NEUTRALITY
In just one year 400 million metric tonnes of plastic is consumed globally. That’s an average of 53kg for every person on this earth. For a £35 contribution using your voucher, you can offset your 53kg plastic footprint by making the Pledge to become Plastic Neutral. Your Pledge will help fund the setup of plastic recycling micro-enterprises in remote and vulnerable communities struggling with the plastic waste epidemic. These programmes, run in association with The Plastic Bank, will run their plastic recycling micro-enterprise with the target to remove and upcycle 53kg of plastic on your behalf, offsetting your plastic footprint and making you Plastic Neutral.
Once you have sent us your volunteering contribution we will be in touch to find out how you would like to use your Offsetting Voucher.
