Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is becoming a priority for all of us, to save the planet. Focus on carbon offsetting, a global and altruistic solution to fight global warming.
The greenhouse effect is a natural, and even necessary, phenomenon: it keeps the Earth at a temperature favourable to the development of life. However, human activity disrupts this balance. By releasing greenhouse gases, whose consequences on the environment are alarming, we are contributing to global warming.
There are, however, simple steps that can be taken to reduce our CO2 emissions and help save the planet. It may be preferring bicycles to cars, showers to baths... However, industrialisation continues to progress and the population is increasing; it therefore appears complicated to act sustainably to reduce greenhouse gases.
Carbon offsetting is one of the tools for reducing greenhouse gases and combating global warming. It consists of reducing one's own CO2 emissions through programs to reduce other CO2 emissions around the world. Carbon offsetting is an institutional obligation under the Kyoto Protocol but can also be voluntary. It therefore concerns States as well as companies and individuals.
