This paper
explores the topic of carbon trading. The writer examines whether corporate carbon trading can effectively save the
rainforest. Within that context, the author explores current
environmental law and argues that they will lead to a demand on
businesses to reduce or offset their CO2 emissions. The writer discusses the difficulty that many businesses will have complying with the law and restrictions. In addition, the environmental damage will increase which will in turn make for stricter laws. The final argument in this paper is that it will be more cost effective to save the rainforest as a CO2 offset than for the rainforest to be taken down for their wood use.
