About Carbon Offsets
Carbon offsets are a way to measure a reduction in greenhouse gases. Although carbon dioxide is technically just one of six greenhouse gases, it represents the largest portion of man made emissions (due to burning of fossil fuels) and is the benchmark for offsetting. Carbon offsets are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e). One carbon offset represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases.
