In Episode 114, Quinn asks: What are carbon offsets, and do they even work?
Our returning guest is Akshat Rathi, a reporter at Bloomberg Green.
Carbon offsets -- like our planet -- are so hot right now. And like our planet -- they kind of don’t work! So fun.
But they could -- and while missions #1 to #11 are eliminate emissions, everywhere, we’ve gotta go negative at some point, so we might as well figure it out, and figure out how to scale them, like yesterday.
You need them, I need them, we all need them.
Forests (of all kinds) are great, but imperfect. New tech like next-generation wind and solar, methane-tracking satellites, and vacuums that literally suck carbon out of the sky are imperfect, too. But so is Quinn!
Find out how you can offset your own impact, and help get us to negative, stat.
