For the last 9 months, The Guardian analyzed projects from the biggest carbon offset provider in the world. They found "94% of the credits had no benefit to the climate." Some of the biggest corporations in the world are using these offsets to claim they are "carbon neutral."

Sometimes I just think about how there’s absolutely no silver lining to Shein. The clothes are full of lead. The clothes are made in exploitative conditions. The clothes are contributing to pollution and global warming. The clothing designs are stolen. And the clothes fall apart.
