Extra Credit: A Look At Carbon Offsets
Are they worth it? The jury’s still out. One way to look at the issue is that carbon credits let you pay for the privilege to pollute. But that’s not to say that carbon credits in and of themselves should be seen as negative. After all, if you have to fly across the country, it’s certainly a good idea to try to neutralize the damage. They also make a fantastic gift for that eco-minded friend or relative has everything.
The key is to make sure that the credits you purchase will actually be used to support a green project. Here’s how to make sure your offsets are legit.
Do your homework. Before you spend your hard earned dollars on carbon offsets, check out a carbon credit buying guide such as Clean Air-Cool Planet to get a better idea of what to look for in a carbon credit company.
