Carbon Credits Real Estate

 
Carbon credits, or "carbon offsets" is a fairly new concept whereby companies and individuals can spend money on something that absorbs carbon (CO2) from the atmosphere, in order to reduce global warming. The basic idea is that a company or individual can calculate how much carbon he or she is responsible for polluting into the atmosphere from various activities and lifestyle, and then purchase carbon credits or carbon offsets that create a neutralize this carbon. Many companies and NGOs are offering such things as gift certificates that allow one to go "carbon neutral".

There are many ways to achieve this, and one of the best is to buy a piece of land that is growing trees, and over time it will pull carbon out of the air to produce wood, which theoretically stays in the rainforest for centuries as the trees mature.

Tropisphere is searching for and offering large properties that are suitable for carbon credits providers. Such properties are often in remote areas, undesirable to developers, and have the side benefit that they provide natural habitat for many wild animals and birds. In addition, such properties are incredible investments because land values are going up rapidly in Costa Rica, and these properties are all very inexpensive per square meter.
