‘Carbon offsets’ refer to activities that reduce greenhouse gases, such as renewable energy, forestry, and resource conservation projects. Participation in carbon offset projects may be purchased as ‘carbon credits.’ Businesses and individuals may use carbon offset credits as a means of reducing and managing their greenhouse gas emissions. For example, an individual or a company may purchase carbon credits to ‘offset’ travel- and/or energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
