An Open-Source Incomplete Pocket Field Guide to Carbon Offsets

Superorganisms of Seed, 2020
The most sustainable solution for our planet is that us humans stop making things, and we all stop buying things. As this scenario is unlikely, we need a redesign. In September of 2020, in the midst of one of the most divisive years in modern history, the Climate Clock hit 7 years, 98 days 15 hours2 —an urgent, necessary wake-up call for action. The climate crisis feels insurmountable—and action (especially for startups) can feel performative and insignificant. This Field Guide is the synthesis of our journey navigating this confusing, complex, opaque world of carbon offsetting—the questions we asked, the platforms we vetted, and the peer reviewers and BS-checkers we consulted in our quest to remove more greenhouse CO2 pollution from the Earth than we emit.
