If a company wants to reduce its carbon footprint, it may buy carbon credits issued by Verra, the world’s largest carbon crediting program. Those credits could be for projects like renewable energy or forest restoration, letting a company claim the environmental benefits from a newly built wind farm or trees planted on once-cleared land.
Now there’s a new option: carbon credits for rescued food, which help fund organizations that collect would-be food waste and distribute it to people in need
