I have a friend who told me his friend has bought land in Colombia to grow trees, and has already sold carbon credits to a company in the north east US.
I don't understand this whole thing. Wouldn't those trees be growing anyway? Someone gets to buy their oxygen produce/carbon uptake? How can we buy our way out of greenhouse gases?
There are already reports of scammers out there setting up websites to sell carbon credits. How do you know what you're buying or getting?

Most of us go through life knowing that we’re expected to learn from our mistakes and improve. Those who are more conscientious about learning and personal improvement usually reap greater rewards.
Marketers are known for exaggerated claims and stretching the truth just a wee bit. But most marketers I know truly believe in what they sell. Their aggressiveness is based on a confidence that what they are promoting truly benefits the customer.
