Disclaimer: Self-plug but I do feel it may be relevant to people here who wish to take responsibility for their greenhouse gas footprint. If you're looking at CO₂ emissions and want to do something about your own footprint please consider removing your own emissions. Reductions are great and all (definitely part of the necessary solution) however they do not address the existing excess of CO₂ in the atmosphere I started "Carbon Removed"[0] for the exact purpose to bring carbon removal to everyone and make it easy for us all to compensate the damage we have done to the environment. We support carbon removal methods so you can turn your emissions into trees and stone. If you're more interested in removal methods I suggest researching: * tree planting - cheap and easy but slow to see results * direct air capture and storage - new, innovative technology that can permanently remove CO₂ through mineralisation but is expensive at this stage. Search "climeworks" * enhanced weathering - "olivine stones" and "project vesta" are good steps here that can slowly and naturally capture CO₂ * blue carbon - naturally removing carbon dioxide through ocean ecosystems * biochar - "carbonise" organic material and use it as a soil supplement (as well as a carbon sink) Personally I have been exceptionally happy to see the transition from "carbon credits" (which, IMHO provide dubious value and are hard to quantify) to net-zero emissions - the thought leading concept of today. Steps taken by Stripe[1] and Microsoft[2] to become "net zero" or even "carbon negative" help normalise this transition. tl;dr: We can all reduce our footprints but we need to do more and remove the existing excess CO₂ in the atmosphere to get back to "normal". 0. https://carbonremoved.com https://carbonremoved.com 1. https://stripe.com/blog/negative-emissions-commitment https://stripe.com/blog/negative-emissions-commitment 2. https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2020/01/16/microsoft-will-be-carbon-negative-by-2030/ https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2020/01/16/microsoft-will-b...
