Can 'Carbon Offsets' Work Effectively?


As with everything there are many levels to consider. It is a beneficial gesture to contribute to organizations which are dealing with climate issues, but overall, if you look at the larger picture the climate is still being affected. I feel there needs to be more extreme measures to curb airline travel. With modern technology, there are many of these meetings which can be done with a conference call and with live visual recordings if necessary. These representatives should be setting an example instead of adopting nicknames like 'air miles Margaret'. We need to elect representatives that are moving on the path of solution to this very serious issue. Each individual needs to start seeing what changes they can make to help save this planet and acting effectively to make these differences. Every living being plays a role.
