Even if you took no flights, installed LED lights, recycled everything, bought local food and composted the waste, you will still be emitting carbon. It’s unavoidable unless you lived in a cave, foraged all your food, and never used any transport or healthcare services. That doesn’t mean it’s pointless to make reductions, however, since you can always offset your unavoidable emissions. This means contributing to carbon reduction or removal projects either directly or by purchasing and ‘retiring’ carbon credits or JCRs.
