Where does the money for Carbon Offsets go?
<p>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?”</p>
<p>Today, I’m providing an answer to that question.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>It’s important to understand though, what a Carbon Credit actually is.</p>
<p>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.</p>
