1: take those credits out of circulation so that polluting factories can’t use them

2: buy enough and then there is the chance you can sell them back at a higher price when the market becomes scarce. It’s like buying stock.

Hardly useless.

Where do you think they get bottled water? It sure as hell isn’t purified.

Canned air from hawaii

1 sq. In. of somewhere by purchasing a T-shirt. (I have a sq. in of Hawaii, so it says…) I am sure my deed has “expired”.

Holy water/dirt from Israel

My favorite has to be:

Carbon Credits!

Its the biggest novelty gag ever, has succeeded in making algore a billionaire, does absolutely nothing productive, and makes people who should know better feel like they are doing good.

(You get virtual “carbon credits” for things like someone hopefully planting a tree that which supposedly will x amount of carbon dioxide over 30 years, assuming it lives that long, and ignoring the resultant carbon “debt” when the tree dies. But you feel good, just like the name a star scam!)

There are a million ways to sell carbon credits, and most all of them are scams. (they count burned carbon against theoretical absorbed carbon, without any evidence that it helps do anything in the first place.)

Carbon Credits is the best gag idea, ever, in my opinion.

We just won’t acknowledge the scam of carbon credits for a few more years, when it becomes obvious what a scam they are.

Recycling plastic is a close second, though. It lets me throw an extra garbage can of trash away every week for “free”.

Oh, and Jelly Shoes, which every girl had to have, even though they are the most uncomfortable type of footwear you could ever wear, especially on hot sweaty days.

And Pogs. They made an absolute fortune off of cardboard disks with pictures on them. Americans are suckers. (Other countries are probably suckers, too, but I don’t live in any of them, so I don’t know, haha)
