A carbon offset is a "financial instrument representing a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions." How, you wonder? Wiki tells us: "One carbon offset represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent in other greenhouse gases." Ultimately, it's just a trade, right?

So what are renewable energy sources? It's pretty self explanatory, really—they're ways of generating power that don’t usurp the earth’s resources and instead draw from sources that can be replenished and reused.
