In retrospect I think I should have called this post “Demand offsetting” to highlight the fact that you are offsetting the demand for eggs that you create (and hence hopefully causing no/minimal harm) rather than causing some harm and then offsetting that harm (the more typical situation, which is not obviously morally acceptable once you are in the kind of non-consequentialist framework that cares a lot about offsetting per se).

I think it is not too late to change the name.
