May Documentary:  Carbon Colonialism explores the controversial subject of the purchase of carbon credits to offset GHG emissions of individuals or businesses/organizations.  Although widely used, these carbon credits are often questionable.  The film highlights problems with carbon credits in Papua New Guinea (PNG), which led to more damage to the forest, and unfulfilled promises to the people. 


To make this topic practical to our members, guidelines for meaningful individual purchase of carbon credits will be discussed. 

Request:  Kindly invite one non-member to attend, to help grow our ranks and increase our solidarity.
