Be super cautious about carbon offset scams!
Many companies have jumped onto the offset bandwagon without taking the time to ensure their programs are doing more good than harm. There's been a huge lack of oversite in this sector, which has focused heavily on mass reforestation projects which then totally failed, often causing more ecological harm, instead of the promised good.
For this reason, we've tried to focus on finding carbon offset programs that can remove more emissions than trees (such as bog protection and restoration), or which help communities reduce their emissions in ways that they would have otherwise struggled to pay for on their own. For example solar panels for schools with limited funds and plugging gas wells which are uncountably spewing methane.

Irish Peatland Conservation Council: Offset Your Garbon Footprint "Known peatlands only cover about 3% of the world’s land surface, but store at least twice as much carbon as all of Earth’s standing forests. In addition, at least one-third of the world’s organic soil carbon, which plays a vital role in mitigating climate change and stabilizing the carbon cycle, is in peatlands."

CarbonFootprint: Solar Schools Offsetting "Sponsor Solar Panels At A UK School With Guaranteed Carbon Offset"
Schools’ Energy Co-operative "installs community funded solar panel systems on schools free of charge as well as paying all its profits to its member schools. As a social enterprise, we are dedicated to supporting our school members and providing an alternative to the prevailing commercial rent a roof or leasing model. Central to this is our aspiration to retain as much as possible of the benefits for the schools, their students and the surrounding communities. We also work with our school members and local community groups to maximise the environmental, educational and community impact of the solar installations."

Tradewater "is a mission-based B-Corp. We create, develop, and implement high-value projects that permanently prevent the world’s most potent greenhouse and ozone-depleting gases from releasing into the atmosphere. Our integrated approach results in verifiable, permanent climate impact and sustainable economic benefit through the highest quality carbon offset credits. Addressing these gases is a key part of the IPCC’s pathway to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Learn more about what we do in Why This Work Matters Now.
