    I’ve been trying really hard to only interrupt if the person I’m talking to is struggling to find the right word or how to express what they are trying to say.

    Their reactions are usually along the lines of “yes thank you, someone understands” and it makes me feel helpful instead of an impatient ass. Win, win.


















  • The study looked at 26 projects in six countries: Cambodia, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Peru, Tanzania, and Zambia. Researchers found that only eight of the 26 projects selling offsets showed any evidence of reducing deforestation, and even those that did failed to achieve the extent of reductions that the projects claimed.

    Only 18 of the 26 projects had sufficient publicly available information to determine the number of offsets they were projected to produce. From project implementation until 2020, those 18 projects were expected to generate up to 89 million carbon offsets to be sold in the global carbon market. But researchers estimate that only 5.4 million of the 89 million, or 6.1 percent, would be associated with actual carbon emission reductions.

    Some actual information on the study and how the carbon offset is overstated.

    TL;DR is pointless if all you’re trying to do is reduce the word count without retaining proper/important information
