Businesses worldwide are slowly adopting more sustainable ideas and practices. In the eCommerce industry, this includes things like getting rid of unnecessary packaging, implementing recycling policies, and reducing the environmental impact of shipping. But another, relatively new way of increasing sustainability is purchasing carbon offsets. A carbon offset is practically a fee you pay each time you contribute to the creation of greenhouse gas emissions. The money then goes to an environmental project that spends it to reduce future emissions, balancing out your carbon footprint.
