Glad Tidings: The Climate Cleanup Podcast. Episode 6 - Removals Do Not Equal Offsets?
Episode 6 of Glad Tidings: The Climate Cleanup Podcast is now live (follow the link or watch above ☝️).
At Glad we believe there are two things we need to do inorder to tackle climate change:
- Reduce current and future emissions to zero as fast, and as universally, as possible.
- Remove - cleanup - the legacy, excess emissions we’ve already polluted our atmosphere with.
Since Ben and I founded Glad we’ve spoken with people from all walks of life about this topic. And all too often those who are working in, or consider themselves informed about, sustainability think of removal as a reduction strategy.
We believe that’s a mistake.
While carbon removal can be, and often is, used as part of an emissions reduction strategy in the form of offsets, we believe it should also be considered as a way of cleaning up the existing mess we’ve made.
In episode 6 of Glad Tidings we dicsuss this in more detail.
I’d love to hear what you think.
