Companies and individuals may plan to reduce the effect of their carbon footprint by carbon offsetting.
Examples are:

  • planting trees
  • paying to build a small dam in a river to produce hydroelectricity for a village so people there don't have to use diesel generators that produce carbon dioxide.
By this means they reduce their carbon footprint.

"A prerogative of the rich" means that rich people can afford to do this. Poor people can't. If a poor man has an old polluting truck that he uses to earn his living, he can't offset his carbon dioxide emissions with money.
