| Carbon Offsetting
Having read a lot of messages on this site and particularly I thought I might add my two pennies worth. I would like to state my case about carbon offsetting. This was proposed by the British government if I am not mistaken. You have one company who horrifically pollutes the atmosphere. The other company is say a garden nursery who grows plants and trees.
The government gives carbon credits to both companies but the garden nursery has spare carbon credits and the pollluting company guzzles up its carbon credits rapidly.
So the polluting company buys the carbon credits from the garden nursery and then calls itself a green company.
There is a van rental company near me that calls itself green I mean is this a joke. |
