Great Lakes region could be a world leader in carbon offset market, research shows

The Great Lakes region could be a world leader in the carbon offset market, according to new research. The study shows that the region has the potential to offset up to 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide through reforestation, wetlands restoration, and other projects. The carbon offset market, which allows companies and individuals to offset their carbon emissions by investing in projects that reduce or remove carbon from the atmosphere, is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years.
