Make your life carbon neutral?

Offsets - if they are real offsets are great. Problem is that many offsets are not really offsets in the sense that they are not "additive". They don't really remove or sequester CO2e. Rather, they claim or use the CO2e saved by an activity or project which is being removed anyway. A good example of this is trees which already exist. Yes - they sequester carbon - but they're already doing it. Complex issue so be careful!

I think it's a good way to raise awareness and I love to see projects like this, but the only thing that will truly bring lasting change will be to force out all the politicians that do nothing at best, or worse yet, let themselves be bribed into holding or rolling back environmental policies.

Nothing will change unless we begin to hold the people accountable that have the responsibility to move countries forward and police mega polluters.

Any project in the space, if they want to make a difference, needs a plan on how they can increase pressure on representatives in a meaningful way.

The only alternative to that is to make polluting unprofitable for corporations. The best way to do that would be a (properly implemented) carbon tax, of course. The second best way is to destroy the business model of these companies, examples being EV replacing other cars and lab meat making the traditional meat industry obsolete. To both of these approaches politics still plays a huge role in via subsidies and regulation.
