The Local Trust

The Local Trust - carbon offsets creating local projects and jobsThe Local Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting climate change through carbon offsets that support local projects in southern Arizona. The Local Trust is partnering with Tucson Audubon to plant carbon-sequestering trees and with Habitat for Humanity Tucson to install solar hot water on Habitat homes. A web-based carbon calculator gives individuals and businesses the ability to offset greenhouse gas emissions resulting from their transportation choices and see offset projects created locally with local benefits. The Local Trust intends to expand this concept into water offsets later this year. Water offset funds will be used to support rainwater and storm water harvesting projects that offset the use of increasingly scarce surface and groundwater supplies in the southwest.
