I am just thinking if you do have to get big business to try and reduce their carbon emissions, many of them have a lot of green spaces. Much of it is car parks too but you will see less car parking spaces and more small buses and hopefully there will be increased infrastructure for walking and cycling so there might be more space to turn into green areas and you could be increasing biodiversity and thus helping with carbon reduction as well. You cannot just offset everything by planting a few trees.
