Does anyone know a legit website to donate to offset carbon emissions? I know its imperfect but feels much better than nothing. For example an NGO that does reforestation in Tropical Rainforest... #CarbonZero

Our research was picked up by The Guardian, alongside work from two of my favorite scientists, John Blake and Bette Loiselle. We hope these findings contribute to solutions that help ensure the persistence of these incredible birds into the 22nd century. theguardian.com/environment/20…
