Montreal Climate Exchange

The Montreal Climate Exchange (MCeX) was launched on May 30, 2008. MCeX is a joint project between the Montreal Exchange and the Chicago Climate Exchange and allows the trading of futures contracts on greenhouse gases. Companies that earn greenhouse gas credits through environmental programs can use the newly established MCeX to sell these credits to carbon-emitting firms.

Carbon Footprint Calculator

A "Carbon Footprint" measures the impact that individuals, organizations or companies have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gas that is emitted into the world's atmosphere.

One way to estimate a carbon footprint is by using a variety of carbon footprint calculators that are offered on Zerofootprint for individuals to quickly approximate their own carbon footprint.
