According to Wikipedia, Carbon Offsetting is the practice of paying for emission reductions to take place elsewhere instead of reducing one’s own emissions. A variety of Offset methods are used, and while Tree Planting is thought of as the most common because it was one of the first, Renewable Energy, Energy Conservation, and Methane Capture are also available.

Carbon Offsetting has practically become part of life as more and more people and companies become more aware of the damage we are imposing on the earth and try to find ways to lessen the effect of their emissions. Unfortunately it has become a business and often times Offsets have become a cheaper and more convenient way than trying to reduce one’s own Fossil Fuel consumption. Instead of trying to find ways not to emit Greenhouse Gasses, or reduce Fossil Fuel Consumption we use buy offsets because it’s easier.

After being accused by British Media of being a hypocrite for flying out to the United States to receive an Environmental Award, Prince Charles put on his thinking cap and came up a green alternative to attending the World Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi by 3D Hologram. That’s what I call reducing your footprint.

Are Carbon Offsets really the way to a greener, cleaner earth or are we just buying our way out of our responsibilities, so we don’t have to feel guilty.
