CARBON OFFSETS TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY (COTAP) is an organization whose mission is to empower individuals and organizations in developed countries to address both climate change and global poverty. COTAP counteracts your carbon emissions through certified forestry projects in least-developed regions which create transparent, accountable, and life-changing earnings for rural farming communities where income levels are less than $2 per day.

Calculate your CO2 footprint & learn how to reduce it.

Offsetting your unavoidable CO2 emissions is a practical and immediate way to take ownership of your personal contribution to climate change.
With COTAP, you’re addressing global economic inequality too. Offsetting also reveals both the need for cleaner energy sources and opportunities for reducing your carbon footprint.
