The Metro Carbon Neutral Program goal is for the Cincinnati community to come together and neutralize our auto energy consumption. MCNP allows individuals to become carbon neutral in two ways:
1. Use the Metro Cincinnati Neutral calculator to calculate how much carbon you already save by choosing public transportation, carpooling, walking, biking or other alternative methods.
2. Use the Metro Green Fund carbon calculator to calculate the amount of carbons emitted into the atmosphere by your vehicle and make a monetary donation to offset your annual carbon footprint. Your contribution will be used towards the purchase of new Metro hybrid buses.
For those who choose to contribute to the Everybody Rides Metro Green fund with a cash donation to offset carbon emissions, proceeds will be used to purchase hybrid buses to further Cincinnati to be an environmentally clean city. The donation is tax deductible.
For those who choose to donate their saved carbons, Everybody Rides Metro will accumulate the total and offer to resell these donated carbon savings to individuals and companies who wish to provide an incentive to the community to become environmentally more sustainable. The buyback helps reduce Cincinnati’s overall footprint and will also be used to purchase hybrid buses (Green Fund) for cleaner air.
