They buy 'carbon offsets' and claim it equalizes their pollution, energy consumption, etc. and gives them a zero carbon footprint.
But it's just an accounting gimmick, otherwise known as a scam.
Paying money to some corporation for a "permission slip" to pollute doesn't undo the pollution created, the energy consumption, aircraft exhaust, etc., etc....
That IS a completely pathetic scam. So where do these faux carbon offset $$’s go????? Mars? So it really is a different case for the average human. “You plebeians will cut your use of all things & live simply. Me, not so much!”
