[Tweeters] birding and carbon

[Tom Benedict via Tweeters]

Indeed, I often reflect on the impact we have while ‘loving nature’. It’s a bit of a dilemma for me. Carbon offsets are a temporary solution, but ultimately we need to reduce our footprint. Yeah, hybrids and EVs help, a bit. Maybe a bit less chase and a lot more local will help more? What about ways to improve virtual birding to meet some of the need for discovery?
