If you search on YouTube "carbon offsets", the first result is the piece John Oliver did, which if you haven't watched i really recommend you to.
I always liken it to the anti-child/slave labor movement in the late 90s. Companies learned if they just sub-subcontract, they can use child and/or slave labor and just keep saying, “[GAP] vociferously objects to slave and child labor. And through our rigorous internal investigation, we have found that a company we hired has in turn hired a company that was participating in this disgusting act. We have officially severed ties with the contractor which so profoundly failed in their quality control and, in [GAP’s] humble opinion, in their morality.”
