Its not helping the enviroment like you said as the offsetting doesn't do anything, for it to work you have o leave the trees in place. When are companys going to learn?

In Brazil they grow their own fuel, the process is carbon neurtral as the carbon absorbed by the plant is the same as released by the fuel. However fermentation, harvesting methods e.t.c. Mean it isn't actually fully carbon neutral, but i suppose it is better than oil
