 Developing nations are being hit with an extra burden of western countrys buying cheap Carbon Credit Offsets from emerging nations in the form of tree planting.
Firstly, will these plantings be taking place on arable land formerly used for growing food, and what effect will this have on food prices in these emerging countrys.
Secondly, the price in Australia for Australian grown trees on one website is about $40 for the offsetting of your standard car. In Accra, about $7.
Thirdly, why no ongoing payment to keep up the maintenance of these trees. Thus providing a livelihood to an impoverished third world farmer. Plus the asset of agroforrestry. |
