Grand Total of CO2e climate pollution that the Kuuvik River Expedition is responsible for : 11.352 tons

 

To atone for its climate sins, the Kuuvik River Expedition has offset its greenhouse gas emissions.
 

  Observe the Expedition's emissions offset certificate.
 
While the 2007 Kuuvik River Expedition supports the practice of CO2e emission offsetting,
we are aware that it is a stop-gap solution.
