Carbon Offset Programs

Carbon offset programs are initiatives designed to compensate for greenhouse gas emissions produced by individuals or organizations. They work on the principle that one can invest in projects that reduce or capture emissions elsewhere, such as reforestation, renewable energy, or energy efficiency projects. For example, if a company emits a certain amount of carbon dioxide, they can buy carbon offsets to fund projects that remove an equivalent amount of carbon from the atmosphere. This approach helps mitigate climate change by balancing out emissions while promoting sustainable practices and environmental protection.
