Piggybacking on this to say the vast majority of “a tree planted for every _______” schemes are also greenwashing bullshit, including Ecosia if I’m not mistaken.
Most plant monocrops with no regard for how a natural, healthy forest functions and generally take no care to make sure the trees actually reach maturity or even adolescence.
There are exceptions, some companies who actually do it right (though carbon credits are a bullshit poison concept regardless), but I imagine most big companies use the corner-cutting options.
