Companies already buy "carbon offsets" or whatever that shitbis called - essentially, they pay money to another businnes, one that is supposed to somehow help the planet and the carbon dioxide increase, and then they just call it a day and slap some stickers on their stuff saying it's all eco-friendly.

Big players have been at it for a long time to cover themselves from way more angles than we can think of. :(

This is also what many countries do to achieve their emission reduction targets.
