The downside from what I’ve observed is that many organizations correctly believe that they can pollute with abandon and put out the public relations pushback with the promise of trees.

Sure. But then they don't plant the trees, either. They just kick money into a fund that runs ads about planting trees.

The root of the problem isn't the tree planting vs. carbon emitting, its the industrial scale lying and bullshitting.
