Remember this simple statement;
The basic idea of climate neutrality is simple: GHG emissions have a global damaging impact on the climate. Therefore, it is not relevant where emissions are generated or avoided. This is the reason why emissions at location A, for example through air travel, can be offset through additional climate protection projects at location B, for example by building a wind power plant, but also in the context of voluntary commitments to carbon neutral business activities.
What DLD did to offset all the GHG generated in the course of the DLD Conference 2007 (especially through traveling of the participants and speakers and the energy consumption at the venue) by the investing in a wind power project in Quindao, China. The emissions reduction is sponsored by 3C.
If we think about what we are doing to this and at least try to offset our offenses like DLD did, I think you can breath easily.
