We need to recycle more efficiently to compensate them.

Fuck no, there need to be laws in place to force more environmentally friendly behavior, especially on companies. The CO2 footprint was invented by the oil industry to shift the blame to the people.

Unless you are talking about recycling the richest 10%, in that case, godspeed.
