"Can you offset cheat as well as CO2?"
What did you think about it?
The Carbon Offset is not a reliable way of stopping Global Warming.
One of the genuine ways really working for protecting our beautiful
planet is to reduce the amount of daily garbage.
Our street cleaning activity definitely helps the reduction of daily garbage produced around the city.
What is a carbon offset?
A carbon offset is a financial instrument representing a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. One carbon offset represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
There are two primary markets for carbon offsets. In the larger
compliance market, companies, governments or other entities buy carbon
offsets in order to comply with caps on the total amount of carbon
dioxide they are allowed to emit.
In the much smaller voluntary market, individuals, companies, or
governments purchase carbon offsets to mitigate their own greenhouse
gas emissions from transportation, electricity use, and other sources.
For example, an individual might purchase carbon offsets to compensate
for the greenhouse gas emissions caused by personal air travel.
Offsets are typically generated from emissions-reducing projects.
The most common project type is renewable energy, such as wind farms,
biomass energy, or hydroelectric dams. Other common project types
include energy efficiency projects, the destruction of industrial
pollutants or agricultural byproducts, destruction of landfill methane,
and forestry projects.
Carbon offsetting as part of a "carbon neutral" lifestyle has gained
some appeal and momentum mainly among consumers in western countries
who have become aware and concerned about the potentially negative
environmental effects of energy-intensive lifestyles and economies.
The commercial system has contributed to the increasing popularity of voluntary offsets among private individuals, companies, and organizations as well as investment in clean technologies, clean energy and reforestation
projects around the world. Offsets may be cheaper or more convenient
alternatives to reducing one's own fossil-fuel consumption. However,
some critics object to carbon offsets, and question the benefits of
certain types of offsets.
