If a project changes, we will list the new project on our website. PLANT NOW warrants that we will neutralize our subscriber’s carbon footprint once a year. In reality, this allows certain subscribers to subscribe for a year before the actual carbon is neutralized, as for others (and most) it will be done rather soon. The amount of carbon we neutralize, is calculated as an average of the consumption an individual use. The amount varies globally and therefore in some countries some individuals may neutralize a larger amount of carbon than they actual emit. On the other hand in other countries, subscribers will emit more than is actually neutralized. All in all, a higher level of carbon will be neutralized than what is actually derived, as the numbers are calculated on the basis of an average emission of carbon in a region with the greatest carbon emissions per capita.
