Offsetting

We were approached by a potential Green Products Expo (GPE) sponsor a few days ago who gave us a look into offsetting, a new term I'm unfamiliar with, but found very interesting.

Basically the company would provide enough "renewable energy credits" to offset the carbon footprint of the GPE. All the exhibitors flights to the show, all the fuel used in shipping products to the show, etc.
