Do the math. According to the graph on this company's website, you can become carbon neutral for your entire life by signing up for the 10 year, $16 per month program. For one person, that is $16 X 12 months X 10 years or a total of $1,920 for one person's life. Multiply that by the current U.S. population of 320 million people, and the total for the country is $614.4 billion, pocket change for the U.S. Government. If you include the entire world population of 9 billion people, the total cost is only $17.28 trillion. That would still be far less than the current estimate of $93 trillion for the Green New Deal. So, why doesn't the Federal Government just send the money to this company and save the planet and save the taxpayers trillions of dollars? Will someone please check my math.
