40% of carbon offset comes from trees, and deforestation happens all over the world - particularly the Amazon. People think releasing carbon is a problem then ignore the destruction of carbon capturers. We spend all this fuel to fly over to Paris and promise we'll release less CO2, yet sit back and do nothing while the third world annihilates things that can reverse CO2 in the atmosphere.

This is true, however we are learning that as co2 levels increase, the amount of oxygen created per tree goes up so the global levels may actually even out. Also, i care a lot more about the forest in my own state than i do about the Amazon. It doesn't matter how many trees you plant there if our own country is fucked.

Yes of course caring about your local environment comes first, but just like river waste, most of that isn't coming from the first world. I care a lot about the forests here in Oregon but you could cut down every tree in the state and it'd be nothing compared to what's happening in South America
