With the successful launch of Carbon Shop, the question we’ve gotten the most is, “Where is the money that I’m paying actually going?”
Today, I’m providing an answer to that question.
Carbon Credits and Carbon Offsets are not a new idea. Governments and corporations have been managing and trading these credits for years now as a way to mitigate the impacts they have on the world’s climate.
It’s important to understand though, what a Carbon Credit actually is.
Carbon Credits are generated AFTER an action is taken that offsets a certain amount of carbon emissions. They are not promises to do work in the future or warm-and-fuzzy “donations” to mitigating climate change; they are certified records of action that have been taken, representing an amount of emissions that have been mitigated.
