> Where do you go to plant trees such that you can be certain the trees won't just be cut down in a few years

So... no where? Where I live you either live in an apartment or in a house that is 5 feet away from neighboring houses in all directions. What percentage of the population is rich enough to own empty land that they can plants trees on?

Few Americans own enough property to allow them to plant anything like as many trees as are required to offset their carbon emissions.
