Global warming can seem like a huge problem that only governments and industries can affect. That statement is true and not-true at the same time. There are many little things we can do to help the current state of things, such as aim to purchase and donate Eco friendly furniture. Every little bit of effort to offset carbon emissions is a step in the right direction. TerraPass is an online resource that aims to aid individuals collectively to have a larger impact for the greater good. When you purchase from TerraPass the proceeds are put into environment conservations efforts. The more energy and non-sustainable products we consume to more we influence global warming. You can donate to offset from things like a plane flight, everyday driving, weddings, and even a college dorm room.
