One of the key differences among team members is whether they are introverts or extraverts. While these terms are often used to describe how people interact with the world around them, they can also have a significant impact on how people respond to leadership and communication styles.

The most common types of carbon offsets are nature-based offsets such as forests. Unfortunately, while emissions remain in the atmosphere around 1,000 years, possibly longer, a tree can only remove carbon for its lifespan of 10o or so years, which means a forest planted as a carbon offset must be maintained with trees replanted at least ten times to match the emission it is offsetting.
