      I keep hearing this term but never how to redeem them? Do I need box tops? Are they paid out via a gift card? What stores take carbon credit? How do the benefits of the carbon credit card stack up compared to my Amazon Credit Card?

        The more you understand capitalism, with it’s planned obsolescence, the requirements to always grow so consumers have to buy a phone every 3 years, the fact that it needs new markets, now resources to extract.,
