Not until there is proof that the carbon clean-up that they pay for is something that actually helps. No more buying a forest to prevent it from being cut down, when it is already illegal to cut down that particular forest. Or that the planted trees are one, actually planted, and two, ensure they grow healthy. Many companies just do things along those lines and then promote themselves to the heavens for all the good they’re doing when they didn’t do anything.
