Genuine question here: Do you, or would you, buy CO2 offsets to do something about the horrendous carbon footprint of your 250k miles/year?

Genuine question here: Do you, or would you, buy CO2 offsets to do something about the horrendous carbon footprint of your 250k miles/year?
- goatherders 7y agoNot sure why you got down-voted, it's a fair question. My answer is that it's not something I've considered. I do a number of things that are "good" for the environment (recycling, composting, don't own a car, etc.) but I haven't ever even explored CO2 offsets. Just never occurred to me.
- mikro2nd 7y agoIn fairness I think it's a fairly new thing for individuals (as opposed to large companies) to even be able to buy offsets, but I'm betting it will become a much larger trend quite quickly, perhaps even required in some jurisdictions. It's not a 'perfect' solution, but at least a step toward doing /something/ rather than shrugging off CO2 emissions as a merely inevitable consequence of air-travel.
- jobigoud 7y agoCan individuals actually buy CO2 offsets?
- mikro2nd 7y agoYep. It's a thing, now. https://www.endscarbonoffsets.com/directory/ https://www.endscarbonoffsets.com/directory/ for a starting point.
