Are some offset providers better than others?

Don't Trade Your Values

Don't waste your money on organizations that support carbon trading schemes. This program sets carbon quotas for companies, sometimes even countries. However, if a company has not reached its quota, it can actually sell the remainder to another organization, thereby allowing someone else to pollute. These schemes don't reduce overall emissions; they simply redistribute them.
