Local Nights Out is an example of another ethical organisation reducing their carbon emissions by utilising energy saving techniques, such as shared webhosting in this case, and then offsetting the remainder of their necessary carbon emissions with BVCO. You can find out more on how we consult with companies to reduce emissions and invest in our carefully monitored offsetting projects here.

Locals had a chance to cook with the stoves, as they would do at home, and take part in various promotional events, including the chance to win a solar stove. BVCO, in partner with ADES, will continue to roll out and maintain the stoves in Andavadoaka.

The company currently produces an average 4.16 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide each year. Now with the help of the BVCO, this amount will be totally offset for 2006, with reductions in emissions made this year and the remaining amount again offset within the BVCO programme.
