Carbon Impact Offsets

Individuals and businesses can buy Carbon Impact Offsets or credits to compensate for their contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. For example, when you travel by plane, your flight generates carbon emissions. You can buy a dollar amount of offsets to compensate for your carbon footprint from a variety of organizations. Builders can also buy these offsets to compensate for the impact of construction. These organizations use the money for specific purposes, like wind farms, reforestation and other types of climate protection.
