From buying a heat pump at a big box retailer to paying for services with a local HVAC installer, businesses can guarantee that their customers will maximize rebates and tax credits when purchasing qualifying electric appliances.

Something happened over the last few years that changed my perspective on climate activism. I was never a conspiracist or non-believer in climate change, but just as bad, I was a passive global citizen and inactive participant in the fight to reduce carbon emissions.

This is not to say that carbon offsets are the endgame for the climate crisis — far from it. I like to think of carbon offsets as a form of climate activism, where your donation dollars are signaling where change should happen.

Carbon offsets mean nothing if there aren't enough projects that aim to reduce GHG emissions or if the volume of carbon reduction is not significant enough.
