I don't know if we're solving climate issues, but at conserve.org[1] we're trying to make it easier for everyone to pitch in and conserve land so plants can do their part via carbon exchange (and save habitats for fluffy animals).

Conserve land, one acre at a time.

All revenue right now goes right to our Land Trust partner. This is a nonprofit.

This looks great, and I wish you all the success in the world. The domain is your key asset, IMHO.

1) When did you start, and how long does it take you to sell an acre?

2) How do you plan on "releasing" more regions? Is the next region going to be (drumroll) the adjacent 160-acre square? Do they want you to complete one square before opening up the next? Does anyone actually keep track of which acre belongs to whom? How difficult is it to get more land trusts on board?

3) I'm looking to offset my emissions, so my key metric is $/t – how much does it cost to sequester a ton of CO₂ that otherwise would have stayed in the air? Any rough estimates?
