Carbon Offsets
One way of overcoming the fact that you will have a carbon footprint, no matter what you do, is to purchase carbon offsets. In its simplest form, carbon offsetting is the planting of trees to absorb the carbon dioxide that you inevitably produce in your everyday life. Of course, not everybody has a garden in which to plant innumerable trees so there are now companies that specialise in doing this for you. It takes around 6 trees to absorb one tonne of carbon dioxide and it’s possible to buy these trees from certain companies for as little as $3 per tree. Seems like a bargain to me.
