Carbon offset is a transaction. When you buy carbon offsets, you are investing in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction projects. These projects carry out carbon compensation in various ways, such as planting trees, upgrading machinery and equipment in factories and power plants, and improving the energy efficiency of buildings and vehicles. The carbon offset project is not to encourage individuals to do useless work to reduce their carbon dioxide, but to encourage everyone to reduce carbon-containing gases by raising funds for greenhouse gas emission reduction projects. Greenhouse gases are easy to mix with air, and can spread around the world compared with other pollutants, so reducing greenhouse gas emissions is regardless of countries and regions.

Carbon compensation is voluntary. Individuals and enterprises can reduce their "carbon footprint" by purchasing carbon offsets, and at the same time establish a public image of environmental protection. Carbon offset can neutralize the carbon produced by air transport, car driving and even wedding banquets and conferences.

Some environmentalists question carbon compensation. They believe that commercial carbon trading is an emerging market, and it is difficult for people to distinguish between carbon compensation suppliers and environmental protection plans. Moreover, trees usually do not have a complete life cycle, and long-term carbon emission control projects may not be successful. It is not excluded that carbon compensation companies occasionally cheat customers. In addition, taking the initiative to buy carbon compensation may become an excuse for people not to pay attention to controlling carbon emissions.

But in any case, the carbon offset plan has raised people's awareness of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
