What are 'carbon credits'?

Carbon credits are a way where you can check your environmental consciousness at the door, pollute, toxify and ransack the environment and get away with it by paying, by taking your money and buying some credits to make you feel good. It's the screwiest way of pacifying a wannabe environmentalist. If you bought carbon credits, however you're justifying it, my suggestion is save your money and apply it to re-engineering your product to a sustainable one.
