What is carbon offsetting?

One way you can minimize your carbon footprint is carbon offsetting, which is a way of compensating for emissions produced by saving an equivalent amount of carbon dioxide.

You can purchase carbon offsets, or carbon credits, from companies that will use a variety of methods to reduce your carbon footprint. Some of these methods include planting trees and funding renewable energy sources that help reduce fossil fuel emissions.

It may be very difficult for certain people and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint completely, but it’s not impossible. Any effort you can make, whether it’s driving your car less or reducing your thermostat’s temperature, will have a positive impact on the environment. It all begins with you, so start reducing your carbon footprint today!
