These are not the carbon offsets I'm looking for

People died, so it was also sort of a graveyard bash.

I was going for the “waste to energy” pun - making the carbon offset more valid. But this is funnier.

Thank you. Even if the win is small in comparison to an overall problem, it’s still important to be aware of it. I think a huge miss in environmental issues is how doomsday everything is. Makes a lot of people throw their hands up and say F it.

I get downvoted anytime I’m on a wildlife sub because I sometimes mention the numerous species that are doing great in the last 50 years. I guess it doesn’t fit the narrative? I dunno, I’d like to be aware of it and how it was accomplished. Shrug.

Some species might be doing great but 70% of total animal populations have fallen in 50 years

Thanks for the irony. And the obvious.

Man, I’m so happy about this news. Coming from years of forest fire smoke in the NW, with lung issues, this is what I’m here for.

I really do think it's underrated how much of the pollution killing rivers and poisoning our air (other than CO2 and GHG) is generally on an improving trend.
