Yeah, but you're an individual. It doesn't have to scale. It only has to be economically comparatively advantageous to you doing it yourself. At some point the lack of scale will cause the price to rise to the point where your labour does not provide a comparative advantage.
Prices are currently not there and I predict I'll probably be carbon negative for the next ten years and still come out ahead working in something else and just buying.
- CalRobert 7y agoFor what it's worth, if you're really hardcore about it buy some grazing land and reforest it with native species (if appropriate - in some places peatland or wetland restoration makes more sense). You'll at least sequester the carbon that was lost when the land was destroyed for grazing and you'll make it infinitesimally more challenging to produce livestock, a very carbon-intensive activity. In some places you can even get small grants for this - Ireland has a little bit of money for afforesting with native species, for instance.
