...Sullivan, the bank's environment adviser. HSBC looks, he says, for more efficient uses of its money, such as its investment in a wind farm in New Zealand. Tree planting, Sullivan says, "is a distraction." Many green groups agree. In a recent report, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and WWF advised consumers to shun reforestation in favor of projects that "support the transition to non-fossil-fuel-based energy...
...many environmental advocates, but they also say customers should be focusing more on cutting emissions in the first place. "Offsets can be seen as an easy way out for governments, businesses and individuals to continue polluting without making changes to their behavior," say Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and WWF in their recent report on offsetting. So if offsetting does have a role to play in preventing mankind from cooking the planet, at best it's a supporting one.

(During the rest of the breeding season, the flights are banned by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas [iccat], which sets international rules.) COLLAPSING Convinced that countries are fishing the Mediterranean's stock into extinction, the wwf last year commissioned industry consultants to calculate the real tonnage of tuna catches. Its findings, released earlier this month, show widespread violations of the Mediterranean's iccat quota of 32,000 tons a year, mostly by industrial companies whose farm-fattened exports escape rigid scrutiny. Bill Hogarth, the chairman of iccat...
