Ultimately, the message conveyed by Moore is renewable technology is not enough to save our planet from climate change and the only way forward is for the human race to slow down. Since then, gallons of water flowed under the bridge and the H 2 O-derived renewable energy evolved into two major outputs: hydropower and ocean energy.

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?
