Two short SUSTAINABILITY related blog post drafts needed
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I need someone to create a short blog post/article for each of the following two topics:
1. The importance of knowing your environmental impact as an individual and business, and how/where to calculate your footprint (This is not the title. Please feel free to create a title)
Please include the most important reasons why it is important for understanding our impact, with a clear emphasis on knowing our impact helps us effectively map out how best to take action to reduce our negative influence on the natural environment.
Please utilize the resources at the link below as suggestions for the reader and include the spa tool as well.

2. Please write a short blog post on the problem with legacy carbon offsets & new blockchain alternatives
You can find a solid start to this on the bottom of the page of the same link above.
Here is another supporting article that will be valuable for facts and quotes.
“Junk Carbon Offsets Are What Make These Big Companies ‘Carbon Neutral’
Yet as of last year renewable offsets remain widespread, despite deep doubts about their efficacy. In the broadest investigation yet of how companies have been relying on junk offsets, Bloomberg Green analyzed 190 million tons of carbon offsets purchased in more than 50,000 transactions in 2021. Close to 40% came from renewable-energy projects. According to Ecosystem Marketplace estimates, the total carbon offsets market was worth $2 billion in 2021.
Transactions amounting to at least 47% of the carbon offsets purchased last year did not have enough information to attribute them back to a buyer. Even with the limited disclosures, hundreds of global companies confirm they are erasing emissions off their books in this way.”
Here is the link to the full article if you need it for reference. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-carbon-offsets-renewable-energy/?leadSource=uverify%20wall
I will also provide all of the details for my preferred blockchain alternatives that I want included in a future message since I cannot fit any more info here.
