This is entirely new territory, and a person can't help be leery of the potential con artist around the corner, and/or the authenticity of any environmental program. I thought this article was interesting to shed a bigger light on the trends in the carbon credit industry: http://tinyurl.com/m7eudd Pat, you have a right to be skeptical.

Some would claim Mt. St. Helens wasted a lot of trees, wildlife, Spirit Lake, etc.. Avalanches, mudslides and flooding has occurred for millions of years before the SUV - you saw it first hand hiking the Grand Canyon. Mother Nature tends to deal with these wastes fairly well in my opinion. Since the jury is still very much out on human's impact on global warming adn cooling cycles, many people get an adverse reaction to sustainability and green building efforts because they beleive it's being done for the wrong reasons (i.e. to stop glaciers from melting). Carbon credit trading is a racket, and should not be associated with individuals doing all they can to minimize their negative impact on Mother Nature. Waste can be defined many ways.

At least it has people thinking and offers a more tangible concept to how ALL business need to work in a cleaner, less consumptive, mindset. There is just soooooo much waste in what we do.

CO2 is an EXTREMELY small percentage of "greenhouse gases", but nevertheless it gets a lot of attention. Many other fossil fuel-type emissions result in other gases like CO (carbon monoxide), which I don't recall seeing as a significant contributor to greenhouse gases. I say more power to anyone striving to reduce negative impacts on Mother Nature, but I have a sense we will see in the future that this carbon-credit racket is nothing more than a racket.
