Carbon Markets 101 — What’s the Buzz All About?

At Consuming Carbon, we believe education is the gateway to action. As we grow our bamboo agroforestry project and carbon sequestration initiatives in Kenya, we're also committed to making carbon markets accessible, understandable, and inclusive for everyone — from local farmers to global funders.

So, let’s break it down...

FAQ #1: What is a Carbon Credit?

A carbon credit represents one tonne of CO₂ avoided or removed from the atmosphere. These credits can be sold to individuals or companies looking to offset their emissions.

FAQ #2: How does bamboo help?

Bamboo is one of nature’s fastest-growing carbon sinks! It draws down CO₂ efficiently, restores degraded land, and creates income for communities.

FAQ #3: Why are carbon markets a big deal?

Because they incentivize climate action. By creating a revenue stream for climate-positive projects, we can drive sustainable development, one credit at a time.

This is just the beginning. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be answering more FAQs, busting myths, and showing you how carbon projects like ours are shaping a greener, fairer future — right here in Africa.
