By spending just $600 per month you can, will offset an average Australian’s direct
emissions resulting from transport, household waste and household energy.
Little changes can make a big difference.
We’re all trying to do our bit to make a difference to the environment. Whether it’s taking
shorter showers, recycling the newspaper or cycling to work, Australians are showing that
they care about the world around them. Now, as well as making environmentally friendly
changes in your home, office and on the road, you can make a positive change just by using
your credit card.
If 100,000 people spend $600 per month with the eco MasterCard, the carbon offsets
accumulated each year would total over half a million tonnes – the equivalent of
taking 115,000 cars off the road for a year.
Your contribution helps fund projects such as reforestation, renewable energy, water and
wastewater treatment, land and habitat conservation, energy efficiency and other
environmental initiatives that meet the strict standards.
