Probably some cockamamie scheme like buying carbon offsets or “plant a tree for every one you cut down,” stuff like that.

You're not far off, apparently. It's part of the "carbon credit scam.
The definition of Carbon Neutral
Carbon neutral is an emerging trend for both companies and individuals around the world. It can describe products, operations and activities which have had their carbon dioxide emissions: 1) calculated; 2) reduced where possible; 3) "offset" through credits that fund additive, emission-free energy projects such as wind farms nd solar installations. By purchasing these credits, organizations can apply them to their own emissions and reduce their net carbon impact. The end result is termed carbon neutral.
