Carbon Offsetting
With the current Net-Zero targets outlined by the government, and attitudes across society changing, it’s never been more important to consider the impact of your carbon footprint. Carbon Dioxide traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere, causing global temperatures to rise. CO2 accounts for around 76% of all greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Due to this significant figure, a global consensus was reached at The Paris Agreement in 2015 and it was decided that atmospheric temperature increases could not exceed 1.5 Degrees Celsius (the level to which damage will become irreversible). In order to achieve this, experts have concluded that we must achieve “Net-Zero” carbon emissions by 2050.
