LCN.com is now carbon neutral. We use a company called CoCo2.org to offset the carbon used by our website.

Carbon Offsetting is the method by which you can minimise your impact on the environment through global warming. For every one ton of CO2 our website produces, we save one ton somewhere else in the world.

CoCo2.org do this through projects such as planting trees, creating wind farms or investing in renewable energy projects throughout the world. For example, if our website needs electricity that emits half a ton of CO2 per year, then they could plant trees that offset that effect by taking half a ton of CO2 out of the atmosphere.

To verify our carbon neutral status visit: www.coco2.org/neutral_search.php

If you would like to carbon offset your website, your vehicles and your mobile phones which are the three big contributors to carbon emissions visit: www.coco2.org.
