The whole 'carbon neutral' or 'carbon footprint' is a joke in my opinion. It appears to be the whole 'global warming' repackaged for the 21st centuary and hoping to get the USA interested this time.
Whilst reducing it might well be good and beneficial, the whole 'offsetting' is laughable. How can planting a tree really be that good though they produce oxygen when photosynthesising they emit CO2 when respiring (if I remember biology) and release it when they die. Shoving corks up cow backsides would be more beneficial as they release a lot of CO2.
It appears to becoming more of a gimmick.
