Plants vs Fire

If you’ve read along the past few days (and months!) you’ll know I think offsets are kinda shady.

I’m not alone, but I’m also definitely not speaking for everyone.

My humble opinion is simply that there are:

• meaningful ways to positively impact the climate
• inferior ways to positively impact the climate
• negative ways to impact the climate
• negative ways that charade as positive ways to impact the climate

Again, just my humble opinion, but I believe offsets spend most of their time in the last 3 points.

If your bbq catches fire in the backyard, do you put it out? Or do you grab some pot plans to absorb the smoke? Silly example maybe, but this is almost literally what offsets are expected to do.

The plants will never cancel out the fire.

You simply can’t do better than removing the burning bbq.
