Carbon Offset Premier Program (COPP)
A 'premium' carbon offsetting program designed for affluent individuals and corporations to 'neutralize' their carbon footprint without fundamentally changing their consumption habits. Offers exclusive access to ‘verified’ offset projects (often of questionable efficacy or permanence) alongside luxury experiences and status symbols. This encourages complacency and avoids genuine emissions reductions.
