Commitment
Globe Aware has committed to offsetting its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org. Our carbon footprint is estimated at less than 70 tons annually; we have chosen to support carbon-reducing projects in renewable energy to offset the CO2 produced in running our offices worldwide and the transportation to and from our work sites. Globe Aware is an environmental leader in the volunteer abroad community. Carbon offsets to fight global warming are a natural extension of the volunteer work done in the communities where we work.

“Because Globe Aware’s mission is to promote sustainability and cultural awareness, we believe in trying to minimize the negative impact of travel on our programs by supporting carbon offsets. We believe you can have fun, help people, and help Mother Earth all at once.” - Kimberly Haley-Coleman, Executive Director.
