We know now that micro and nanoplastics are literally everywhere. They're in the rain, they're in our food and water - they're even in the very first bowel movement that newborns have after their birth. This latest bombshell, though, has scientists worried all over again. Man made plastic is showing up in strange new rocks that scientists have discovered in all five inhabited continents.

The voluntary carbon offset market will reach $250 billion by 2050 from $2 billion in 2020, according to estimates made by Morgan Stanley. However, awareness of the monetary and environmental benefits associated with carbon credits is low. Generally speaking, carbon offsets are granted when an organization or company engages in a practice that reduces CO2 emissions, such as replacing fossil-fuel-based energy sources with renewable energy sources, or (rarely) removes CO2 from the atmosphere through technology like carbon capture.
