How to retire nature-based carbon credits with Toucan

Calculating your carbon footprint 👣

There are many different ways to estimate your climate impact.

• You can instantly calculate the carbon footprint of your Ethereum account using carbon.fyi 🕸
• Work out your carbon emissions from air travel with ICAO's estimator ✈️
• Gain a better idea of the annual carbon impact of your lifestyle using the WWF Footprint calculator 🐘

You can then use NCT to offset the specific amount of your carbon footprint or go above and beyond to give back to our planetary system. (We feel that "net zero" isn't enough, which is why we say offset+) 🌍
