And we just rolled out the ability to purchase carbon removal credits, powered by Patch, to offset some or all of your remaining emissions (optionally opt-in to automatic monthly purchasing).

Presumably you can also measure the carbon footprint of buying carbon removal credits using Bend, and pay to remove that carbon, and measure the carbon footprint of buying those carbon removal credits, and so on forever...

haha indeed — but actually, this is kind of the point — purchasing carbon removal credits is just like any other business purchase, but with a negative emissions factor. When you purchase carbon removal credits on Bend, it shows up as just another transaction, but with negative CO2e.
