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?
