That is the whole point of it. These projects are being voluntarily subsidized by regular people that want to help to reduce emissions. The individual's motivation to buy the credits is irrelevant, the environment benefits as a result of the activity that resulted in the credit.
It really pisses me off that they are reducing the credits to that. Bullshit is right. They throw out their strawman attacks and give people a false perception of a program designed to give us clean air.
