OK, you have my attention. It looks like it's a voluntary carbon credit trading system. But there are no details. I registered and they told me they would get back to me when they launch. Anybody have any ideas how this will work? In particular, how do they plan to monitor carbon emissions?
A trading system only works if carbon reductions (or sequestration) are verifiable. Seems like a classic asymmetric information problem: "Sure I'll reduce my emissions (wink,wink) if you pay me)."
