Carbon Off Sets Carbon offsetting is yet another mechanism available to individuals that has the potential of helping reduce the effects of many human activities causing pollution. Carbon offsets are of limited value to solve the increasing threat of climate change. Although a very popular interpretation by Offset detractors, Carbon offsetting should not be seen as a way to buy “environmental forgiveness.” Voluntary carbon offsets do have their place in spurring innovation and financing carbon-reducing projects that would otherwise not have happened. They are especially appropriate for individuals who have done their best to reduce their personal emissions but would like to neutralize some of the unavoidable emissions that they are responsible for. |
