The problem with carbon offsets is people want easy answers. They want perfect solutions that operate with 100% efficiency. Funny how they apply such high standards to anyone who tries to do good, while they're perfectly happy to accept rotten fuel efficiency in SUVs, agricultural policies that encourage forest destruction, and so on. The reality is that all our attempts to stop global warming will waste money, so we might as well waste some of that money on do-gooders with new ideas, instead of wasting all of it on the same old rich industrialists. Maybe some of it will turn out to be much less wasteful than we thought.

That's my rantage, and thank you for asking. Good luck with your endeavors.
