3 GROUP PROJECT Carbon offsetting e When you drive or fly, you can offset your greenhouse gas emissions by purchasing

‘carbon offsets’ also known as green offsets, greentags or renewable energy certificates. The money you pay goes to develop alternative energy projects

(typically wind or solar) or is invested in tree-planting projects. Some environmentalists consider carbon offsets counterproductive, feel-good environmentalism.

Research the issue and discuss why this is so and whether you agree.
