Offsetting schemes often fail to deliver on what they promise. An investigation by The Guardian found that 94 percent of rainforest projects approved by the world’s biggest certifier, Verra, offering “no benefit to the climate.” Enter carbon insetting, in which companies attempt to remove emissions from within their own supply chains — the string of activities involved in producing and distributing their products.

A survey of 4,000 employees in the US and UK this year found that more than 60 percent of employees wanted to see their company take a stronger stance on the environment, and half said they would consider resigning if their companies’ values didn’t align with their own. Of course, staying at your current not-very-environmentally-friendly job and advocating for sustainability can make a big difference, too.
