I've always wondered how that works. Is there a standard that is enforced or is like a charity that you have to trust?

Currently it’s more the latter. If we had a full-fledged cap-and-trade law, there’d be more accountability in place. Right now you see where the money is going and decide whether you a) trust the organization b) feel confident that the project is going to be an effective offset.
