An afforestation project planted then would just now be putting on it’s best growth

Holding Account. They have 45,000 credits from 1998. To me, it’s not an offset in 2008.
It’s easy to preach. At least on CCX you can buy credits from 2008.

As for lowering the bar for offsets, I don’t see any information what standard the registry accepts.

I like the transparency of the registry. Especially Anonymous Accounts: Alpha 001 etc.

And by the way it is not true that this is the world’s first carbon registry. Please see APX, Blue Registry, TZ1, CCAR etc.

Only the Canadian Registry is worse then the American Carbon Registry.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for offsets. Let’s just make then truly transparent and additional. Carbon cowboys like ERT are not welcome.
