Kenny Be's Hip Tip: Green jobs of the new energy economy

• Carbon offsets aim to neutralize the amount of Co2 emissions contribution by funding projects which should cause an equal reduction of emissions somewhere else, such as tree planting.

Offsetting is sometimes seen as a charged and contentious issue. For example, Carbon Trade Watch describes offsets as �modern day indulgences, sold to an increasingly carbon-conscious public to absolve their climate sins.�
