The truth behind planting trees and carbon offsets | Spotlight EP 12, Earthrise x Bloomberg

We’ve all probably heard about a tree-planting campaign somewhere. Heck, many of us might even have supported one. Planting a tree to offset our actions is easy.

Spotlight is a 12-part series on climate solutions created in collaboration with Earthrise and Bloomberg Originals. Want to see more from us?
