    Just a heads up, OP; Carbon Offsets are extremely ineffective, and are pretty much just green washing. What counts as an offset is completely unregulated, and much of it is just kinda made up. The real use of Carbon Offsets is to allow companies to continue to emit without consequence, and to be able to slap a ‘We’re totally green!’ badge on the smoke stack.

      Noted, thanks. Happy to remove the post if there’s consensus about the ineffectiveness.

        There’s quite a lot of reputable people that showcase how they are ineffective, or in the case of this video, even suggests that the way they are structured would actually accelerate global warming.
