Carbon offset refers to the practice of compensating for the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) or other greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere by taking actions that either reduce or capture an equivalent amount of CO2 elsewhere. The goal of carbon offsetting is to help counteract the negative effects of human activities, particularly those that contribute to climate change.
Investing in renewable energy sources like wind, solar, hydroelectric, or biomass to generate clean energy and displace the need for fossil fuel-based energy generation.
Implementing measures to reduce energy consumption and emissions, such as upgrading buildings, improving transportation systems, and using more efficient technologies.
Planting trees or creating new forests to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
