NHL to purchase carbon offsets to counter playoff air travel

The National Hockey League said on Monday it would purchase carbon credits to offset airline emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases during the Stanley Cup playoffs. For the first round of the playoffs, which has the highest number of teams traveling and is currently underway, the NHL will offset more than 465 metric tons of carbon emissions, equivalent to taking 99 cars off the road for one year.  https://www.reuters.com/article/us-icehockey-nhl-offsets/nhl-to-purchase-carbon-offsets-to-counter-playoff-air-travel-idUSKCN1RY1JB
