How does carbon offsetting help the environment?
By buying Allowances (measured in metric tonnes of CO2) through this service, you are removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Allowances can be traded, i.e. they could be resold to an organisation that might need them in order to increase its emissions. Because Allowances bought through this service are not resold, but are instead retired, your contribution will ultimately help reduce the amount of CO2 in the air.
