    Where on the site does it mention anything about possible returns? It just looks like they take your cash and plant trees with it (or something to that effect)

    I couldn't find the ROI either.......there harldy buying 2 grands worth of trees with my money and giving me nothing in return...

    Like OP says I could save the planet and that should be reward enough....not likley....

    I guess they are funds which invest in environmentally friendly companies (however you judge that?)
