What is EarthCare?

Today, we channel that expertise into something bigger: helping businesses, growers, and individuals understand the science and practice of greenhouse gas management. From the Greenhouse Gas Protocol to sustainable growing techniques, EarthCare is where practical knowledge meets climate responsibility.

Greenhouses & Climate
How the greenhouse structure and greenhouse gases are connected and what agriculture can do to reduce emissions
The three scopes of emissions
Scope 1 — Direct
Emissions you produce directly on-site. Gas boilers, company vehicles, on-site fuel burning.
Scope 2 — Energy
Emissions from electricity and heat you buy. Switch to renewables and Scope 2 drops to near zero.
Scope 3 — Value chain
All other indirect emissions — suppliers, travel, product use. Usually the biggest and hardest to measure.
