Yep, I was just thinking that you could say the same about charities... there's always bad apples out there, but that doesn't mean you should stop giving to all of them as a result. I found EasyJet's page to be fairly transparent... more than I expected, at least. They were detailed enough that one could probably look up the green company itself, contact it, and do a background check... no harm in doing that, either.

Once again, you're under no obligation to do a carbon offset, so why the protest? Just curious.
