carbon offsets
Carbon offsets are a way to balance out carbon dioxide emissions produced by an individual or organization. When you can't reduce your emissions, you can invest in projects that either remove CO2 from the atmosphere (like planting trees) or prevent future emissions (like renewable energy projects). Each offset represents a ton of CO2 that’s either avoided or captured. By purchasing offsets, you effectively "cancel out" your impact on climate change, supporting sustainable practices and contributing to a healthier planet. It’s a practical approach to help mitigate global warming while still engaging in activities that produce emissions.
