See the link of this organization conducting several projects in China to reduce their carbon footprint: emissions zero
"Our first aim is to empower these individuals and organizations to take climate change into their own hands and go carbon neutral. By eliminating their carbon footprints, individuals and organizations not only work against global climate change but also contribute to our second aim: promoting sustainability in China.
Each carbon offset purchased helps fund the construction of a clean energy project that would have been impossible without money from carbon credits. These projects improve local environments, bring economic development to underdeveloped areas of China and spread environmental awareness and green technology to remote areas.
By connecting people and businesses with these projects, we aim to increase environmental awareness and promote sustainable development in China while simultaneously working to combat global climate change."
