Carbon Offsets

This is a story of a part of Atlanta that's trying to buy their way into "green," by using carbon offsets. Check out the Chicago Climate Exchange mentioned in the article. Oh capitalism and the environment, it is a start though. At least the first article mentions where the money is going.

I read a similar article to this one awhile back that is skeptical of carbon offsets since they are not regulated properly yet. The Chicago Climate Exchange was mentioned again as well. Is this another paper chasing capitalist substance-less "product" that got us into this financial crisis we're in now?

Carbonfund.org seems like a good place to start learning more. We'll see.
