Carbon neutrality, also known as carbon-neutral, is the state of having a net zero carbon footprint. This means that the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere by an individual, organization, or community is balanced out by the amount of CO2 absorbed or offset through carbon-reducing initiatives such as renewable energy use, carbon offset projects, and other environmental conservation efforts. To reduce the negative effects of human activities on our planet, and to fight against climate change, carbon neutrality is a goal we should all strive towards.
