DO WE BLOG OR BLAH, BLAH, BLAH?

8/29/2018

OK so I have often been asked the question "What should we blog about?". It’s a very good question indeed. The truth of the matter is, there is no correct answer. Some use blogging to vent, advertise, preserve their current client base or gain new ones. Others just blog to make a simple connection with others that share similar interests or ideas.

Before we start understanding about carbon credit, it is important to know about carbon emissions, or rightly put, the emissions of carbon dioxide into the environment. Carbon dioxide is one of the most common greenhouse gases that goes up into the atmosphere, along with water vapour, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. The word “greenhouse” implies that these gases formed a layer that traps heat from the sun, causing a greenhouse effect on the earth surface. These gases will eventually escape into space gradually and this warming of the earth’s surface is important to sustain life.
