Wouldn't it be nice if companies actually aimed to be carbon neutral, instead of just hiding the problems or pushing them onto some other country? Ah, we can but dream.

I think carbon offsetting can be ok, if you're doing it on top of your plan to be carbon neutral and then complete that plan. However, if you're doing it whilst making no effort to actually reduce your emissions, then you've pretty much abdicated all responsibility.

This is what I assume the majority are doing. It's a PR stunt, not in any way trying to actually make a positive change. How many of the schemes do anything useful?
