Carbon-offsetting & business reputations
This section report has two focuses: carbon offsets and business reputations. The initial analysis is designed to understand the attitudes the public has towards carbon offsets, and how carbon offset schemes could build better public support. The analysis considers which demographic segments of the population are more, or less, supportive of carbon offsetting. There is detailed analysis of attitudes towards carbon offsetting according to our climate change segmentation interlinked with flying behaviour – since a common consumer touch-point with voluntary carbon offsets is when buying flights. Additionally, recognition of 15 carbon offset organizations is measured.
The final portion is concerned with business reputations in Canada, England and the USA. For the oil, auto, airline and supermarket sectors, companies and pressure groups are currently vying for public support over how they are addressing climate change. This research measures public approval and disapproval for specific companies.

where to find a wholesome, spiritual or eco-friendly job?
I am a 21 year old girl living in the republic of ireland and I want to have a job that is beneficial to me and other people. I have no qualifications, but I am willing to work hard and get dirty, but I just want to do something that won’t increase my carbon footprint by too much. Does such a job exist? I don’t want to sell clothes made by chinese kids and shipped halfway round the world, I just want to do something ‘good’. Unfortunately, like most people, I need a job that pays so I have to rule out voluntary work. So any suggestions? Please tell me of some job I could do or some company that is a little health or eco concerned….
It’s not a full time job, but I started making my own natural cleaning products a while back, and have only just begun to sell them online. y items aren’t exactly flying off the shelves yet (it’s been 5 weeks), but I find the experience rewarding and it’s bringing in some extra spending money at least!
