			In February of 2020 [[Delta Air Lines]] pledged to become carbon neutral through the purchasing of [[carbon credits]].<Ref>https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/feb/14/delta-carbon-neutral-airline-plan</Ref> Delta committed to spending 1 billion dollars, over a ten year period, on the carbon offset credits. A recent lawsuit, filed in May of 2023, against Delta claims that their carbon offset plan is false advertising, because [[carbon credits]] do nothing to quell the climate crisis; The lawsuit was filed in California by the law firm, Haderlein and Kouyoumdjian LLP <Ref>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/30/delta-air-lines-lawsuit-carbon-neutrality-aoe</Ref> Krikor Kouyoumdjian, in a statement regarding the lawsuit, said
			<Blockquote>When companies say: ‘Don’t worry about our emissions, they’re sorted,’ they are communicating complacency. They are letting consumers pay to feel better and not have to worry about the impact of their consumption. But that is counterfactual to reality. It is not something that you can pay away.<br>

			When I hear ‘carbon neutral’, I think you’re not doing anything wrong, you’re not hurting the environment in any way. It’s like you don’t exist. That’s what the words mean to any rational person: that we can participate in your business without any guilt. Most of us who care about the environment walk around with this giant cloud of guilt that our very existence hurts the environment in a bunch of ways.<Ref>https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/may/30/delta-air-lines-lawsuit-carbon-neutrality-aoe</Ref></Blockquote>
