Carbon Costs: Understanding Offsetting with Brittany Michalski of Carbon Stewards In this episode, Forrest talks with Brittany Michalski of Climate Stewards, USA. The aim of Climate Stewards is to make the world a healthier, fairer place for all creation. They do this by helping individuals and communities to become more aware of the planet-warming carbon emissions that they produce in their day-to-day activities. They also provide opportunities for people to essentially "make up" for their harmful carbon emissions by putting money towards carbon reducing projects around the world--projects that improve the lives of communities in less developed countries around the world. Guest: Brittany Michalski - project coordinator for Climate Stewards USA Climate Stewards 360carbon tool for churches & small businesses  Climate Stewards' US carbon calculator Climate Stewards' annual reports  Mentions:A Rocha USAA Rocha Ghana Common loon songs Earthkeepers' interview with Caroline Pomeroy- Climate Stewards UK  bio sand water filters fireless cookers Master’s in International Community Development, Northwest Universitybook - Under the Sky We Make by Kimberly Nicholas, PhD Kyle Mayaard-Schaap - Evangelical Environmental Network book - Saving Us by Katherine Hayhoe, PhD Earthkeepers interview with Katherine HayhoeEarthkeepers interview with The Multifaith Network for Climate Justice (in Bellingham, WA)  Keywords: Carbon offsetting, greenwashing, carbon footprint, carbon emissions, carbon tax, A Rocha, Katharine Hayhoe, Interfaith Power and Light, tomato seedsFind us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple
