Oops

Public shaming worked, on to the next!

Those carbon credits won't do shit to save the planet, but at least flying less is a step in the right direction

Interesting how it worked before the whole shitstorm with all the memes started.

I wonder if those were not really about her flying but somehow related to her speaking out against trump and that was just the angle of the smear campaign to make her less credible for left people...

Very murky. Problems with even the best carbon credit companies.

Carbon recapture seems promising.

Carbon capture is promising only when we no longer rely on fossil fuels for energy generation.

That's called planting trees. We need a huge reforestation effort to go along with eliminating co2 emissions.

In my area, drought and heat have been so bad the last few years, a lot of native trees are dying. You could try reforesting with trees native to a dryer, nearby area, but that's generally thought of as bad practice, and there's no guarantee they would do well in that particular soil. It seems like the climate in my area is changing to be incapable of supporting forests.

Luckily, we live in a global biosphere.
