What is meant by #carbonoffsets?
Carbon offsetting involves investing in projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions to balance out or mitigate the carbon emissions produced by an individual or organization’s activities.

It’s one of the most important tools in the larger effort to combat climate change.
