If you're doing the book-keeping on that stuff, though, comparing to the status quo.. that charcoal that is on the crops used to be some fertilizer that also was being transported, right?
You have to be careful not to double-count progress but if you consider things relative to status quos, then you're still looking at progress right? Like improvements are still good, right?
Like if you're dead set on building a building, you're gonna need concrete no matter what. Might as well use "good" concrete I guess? Though there's likely not much magic to where building the building _reduces_ CO2 net.
