Reducing the carbon footprint

Daintree Discovery Centre have launched a new venture: a community based Carbon Offset/Bio-Sequestration Project. The project not only measures the Centre’s carbon footprint but allows it to develop strategies to minimize Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon offsetting involves calculating GHG emissions and developing strategies to avoid, reduce and finally offset CO2 emissions via revegetation of degraded rainforests.
