This is another episode of the Forces for Nature, EarthX Conference series!

How can the landscapes around us play a direct role in reducing carbon emissions? In this episode, we talk with Jim Blackburn, the CEO of BCarbon, about nature-based carbon sequestration. Jim shares how BCarbon is helping landowners restore prairies, forests, and wetlands to store carbon naturally, and why the voluntary carbon market could play a pivotal role in combating climate change. We explore how these projects contribute not only to carbon reduction but also to ecological resilience, biodiversity, and sustainable economic incentives for landowners. Whether you’re curious about the carbon market or looking for impactful ways to reduce your own carbon footprint, this episode sheds light on a holistic approach to climate action.
Highlights

• How does BCarbon’s nature-based approach to carbon capture work, and why is it different from technological carbon capture technology?
• How can we know if carbon credits are truly making a difference or if they’re just being used as “greenwashing”?
• Why might investing in carbon credits be a meaningful step for individuals and businesses aiming to offset their environmental impact?

What You Can Do:

• Look into verified, nature-based carbon offset options to balance out your personal or business emissions.
• Support local conservation and restoration efforts that contribute to biodiversity and carbon storage.
• Engage with nature.
