"When I realized that my job had an impact on global warming, I immediately wanted to find a solution, and compensating for my emissions is how I’ve gone about it. I have often no choice of where I have to travel, but I do not want the planet and its inhabitants to suffer the consequences. I am very pleased that Carbon Action enables everyone to take the same approach. It is now more urgent than ever to take action to limit the climate change that is already underway. So in the interest of everyone, like me, starting today, compensate for your greenhouse gas emissions with Carbon Action! ".
