But when motivated by the wrong reasons, they can deplete ecosystems, threaten biodiversity, displace communities and delay direct action to reduce carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A simple solution to the carbon problem will not be enough to protect our forests, and more broadly the planet and its inhabitants. Offsetting our carbon footprint is a way for many of us to feel we&#8217;re doing our bit to save the planet from the current climate emergency.
