Products that bear the label “carbon neutral” are supposed to be produced with no added emissions to the atmosphere. The National Forests Foundation advertises that for every $2 donation, they’ll plant two trees that will remove or offset 1 metric ton of CO2e from the atmosphere for the life of those trees. But can you trust it?

They are the processes that allow our food to grow, clean the air we breathe, and attempt to keep atmospheric temperatures in check. Deforestation and intensive agriculture are driving erosion and mass desertification (degradation of land into desert-like systems), which puts pressure on soils and limits biological activity 3,4.
