How does purchasing carbon credits work?

With this package, you are purchasing carbon credits in a greater amount than you have emitted with your road trip. These carbon credits are coming from Terrapass, a leading provider of verifiable carbon credits. Terrapass is a reputable and reliable source of carbon credits, so you can be confident that the package you purchase is actually sequestering carbon from our atmosphere.

When you make a purchase, Luno:

  • Luno receives the amount of your purchase
  • We take $1 as an administration fee, and every other cent goes towards purchasing carbon offsets. 
  • We keep this money safely set aside, and then once every quarter we go and purchase carbon credits with it through our climate action partner, Terrapass!

All of our emissions data comes from the U.S. Department of Energy. With this data, we were able to find the average tailpipe emissions (grams of CO2 per mile) for some of the most popular 2023 SUV’s, Trucks, and Vans. From here, it’s a simple conversion into Metric Tonnes of CO2 per mile that these vehicle categories release.

What is carbon?

What is carbon and why is it harmful?

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a common greenhouse gas. In fact, your body even produces it just by breathing! But, the extraction and burning of fossil fuels such as coal or gasoline produces CO2 at extreme levels. Here’s the issue…CO2 traps the heat from the sun in our atmosphere, and too much of this raises the temperature of our globe. This global warming is already having serious detrimental effects on the environment like biodiversity loss, extreme weather, and rising oceans. That’s why we need to start actively reducing carbon emissions and removing it from the atmosphere.  

What is Carbon Positive?

Carbon positive means that you are sequestering/removing more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than you emit.

Why offset carbon emissions?

Due to the climate crisis, the United Nations, informed by the world's leading scientists, have agreed that to limit disastrous climate change, we need to aim for carbon neutrality by 2050 (meaning we remove as much carbon from the atmosphere as we pollute it with). This is not just something governments and businesses have to be concerned with, but individuals too. 

We know that our Luno mattresses enable individuals to explore our beautiful earth on 4-wheels. But with that comes the carbon emissions of the rig you're driving. So, we want to help you offset all of those road-trip emissions (and more!) in order to play a small part in reversing the climate crisis our world faces today. That way we can all keep exploring our beautiful planet for decades to come. 

Carbon emissions are offset through projects around the world that either remove carbon from the atmosphere or reduce the amount of carbon that would have otherwise been emitted. For example, planting trees offsets carbon emissions because trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. Other examples include green energy projects like wind and solar farms, which reduce carbon emissions that would have otherwise occurred from the burning of coal and fossil fuels.

Sequester your miles and make your road trip Carbon Positive with this Luno package!

This carbon positive package assumes 650 miles driven on your road trip (that’s like taking a trip from Bend to Salt Lake City).

Just select the type of rig you drive (SUV, Truck, or Van) and you'll remove more carbon from the atmosphere than your road trip's tailpipe emissions produced.

Depending on the length of your road trip, we encourage you to purchase as many packages as you need to fully offset your adventure!
