The basis of the argument is that buying offsets buys complacency. It is said that offsets encourage people to continue with their emission heavy activities, in the belief that their pollution is neutralised by the offset.<br />At Treeflights.com we plant trees for airline passengers who are concerned about the CO2 that their flight is releasing. Our view (informed by talking to our customers)is that far from encouraging people to fly more, our service helps them to acknowledge that what they are doing is destructive to our atmosphere and so sets them on a path to flying less and less.<br />One important thing to understand is that all offsets take time to do their work.If you want to offset your flight by planting trees you should understand that it will take 80 or 100 years for the tree to re-absorb the ghg. So your flight might become carbon neutral but not for a very long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
