i got through about half the list before i realized that these are all just general articles against carbon offsets (which, i think, in general, are very stupid compared to regulating energy usage). i thought you had a specific point about the behavior of Ecosia and i was curious because i've applied there in the past and find it an interesting company (planting trees is... good? usually? if done right?).
