"Planting trees or investing in renewable energy does not reverse the damage of releasing huge quantities of carbon dioxide into the environment...It is far better not to pollute in the first place. Carbon offsetting can be a removal of guilt, but it is not an effective one."

This is just one quote from an article from the Daily Mail, entitled Live Earth is promoting green to save the planet - what planet are they on? which talks about the real effect that the event had on the planet. I found it interesting and it even gave some actual stats of the "footprint" it left. I wasn't too surprised.

I appreciate the effort but I'd rather you just not have done it at all because I wonder how much time you've robbed the planet of...

i completly agree ,carbon offset is just another way round the problem,people are talking about buying the carbon offsets from less polluting countrys and useing these to offset their own badly polluting countrys, bizzare really as this will not reduce pollution at all but just make some countrys feel better ? what a waste of time
