Frequently Asked Questions
Curious about how carbon offsets work or what impact your support really makes? We’ve put together answers to some of the most common questions to help you feel confident and informed as you take climate action with us.
Carbon offsetting allows you to balance out your carbon footprint by supporting projects that remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. At Carbon Offset Solutions, we focus exclusively on planting trees—nature’s most effective carbon removers. As trees grow, they absorb and store carbon, helping to neutralize the emissions we can’t avoid.
Your donation directly supports verified reforestation and afforestation projects. Each tree planted helps remove carbon dioxide from the air, restore ecosystems, and create lasting climate benefits. You’re helping grow real, measurable change—one tree at a time.
We only work with tree planting initiatives that are third-party verified by leading standards such as Verra and Gold Standard. These partnerships ensure every project is scientifically backed, transparently managed, and designed for long-term impact.
