What price carbon emissions?
One of the reasons we are facing a climate crisis is because people have not been paying the full economic price for their carbon consumption. Had they been, we’d be living in a very different world today. A quick comparison of average car fuel efficiency in the US versus the EU (where fuel has typically been priced at 2-3x the US price) bears this out.

I can’t think of any other single organisation driving so fast to more sustainable business outcomes, and quite honestly, I would never have suspected Wal-Mart would be making the moves it is.

The lowdown on carbon offsets
The idea behind “offsetting” carbon emissions is that, while you are emitting some carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as a result of your activities, you can counterbalance these emissions by contributing to a project somewhere else that will reduce emissions.
