If you listen carefully, they usually disguise their "green" spending as part of other spending so it sounds like they are spending a lot more than they really are. BP is particularly good at this.

Under the premise, first reduce what you can, then offset the remainder, offsetting can be done by supporting a responsible carbon project, or by buying carbon credits. Offsetting is sometimes seen as a charged and contentious issue. For example, Carbon Trade Watch describes offsets as “modern day indulgences, sold to an increasingly carbon-conscious public to absolve their climate sins.” Carbon offsets aim to neutralize the amount of Co2 emissions contribution by funding projects which should cause an equal reduction of emissions somewhere else, such as tree planting.

Policymakers and economists will be putting a value on the stored carbon they contain. If we are going to have priorities, then preventing deforestation must surely be at the top of the list. It should be more preventable than some of the other problems facing us.

This odor hangs in the air and only lightens up through the winter and then comes back again in the spring with such a strong odor! This is unfair to those who life around these farm fields and choose not to farm this way. You can't even enjoy being outside because of the stinch! So, much for having family and friends over. You become a prisoner in and around your home. Never ot leave the windows open again due to this foul odor!! Some one please help, we are gagging!!!
