American Carbon Registry
The American Carbon Registry (ACR) is a nonprofit organization that manages and tracks carbon credits in the United States. Carbon credits are permits that represent a reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide emissions. ACR helps businesses and governments invest in projects that lower greenhouse gas emissions, like reforestation or renewable energy, and ensures these projects are credible and effective. By certifying these efforts, ACR provides a system for trading carbon credits, encouraging carbon reduction and supporting the fight against climate change while fostering environmental sustainability.
