The excessive emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has caused serious problems for nature, people's health and the planet as a whole. Therefore, more and more people and companies are looking for solutions to reduce the impacts of their actions on the environment: one of them is carbon neutrality.
With a social commitment and the conscious use of resources, it is possible to significantly reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, but this is no longer enough. It is also necessary to invest in ways to reverse the damage already done to the atmosphere, eradicating our unsustainable relationship with the planet.
Carbon Neutrality is an alternative that seeks to avoid the consequences of the greenhouse effect imbalance (caused by excess emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide), based on a general calculation of carbon emissions. Being carbon neutral means reducing where possible and balancing the rest of emissions through offsetting, which can be done by purchasing carbon credits or restoring forests in degraded areas.
Being a carbon neutral company means calculating and monitoring the total CO2 emissions that the activity carried out is producing, in addition to trying to reduce this impact as much as possible. Those emissions that cannot be extinguished must be compensated by other means, such as the purchase of carbon credits, among others.
Compensation for carbon credits takes place through the recovery and preservation of forests and seas, which plays an essential role in the sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere. Organizations that work in the recovery and preservation of forests and seas can generate a credit for each CO2 sequestered and sell it to other organizations that cannot avoid emissions, in order to achieve neutrality. In this way, debtor companies can buy carbon credits so that creditors continue to invest in cleaning the atmosphere. The result is an increase in the preservation and recovery of nature, reversal of air pollution, in addition to reducing impacts on the climate
