The article states "Indeed, you may be able to offset a ton of CO2 for as little as $1" and also: "... If we were to use the mean rather than the median estimate, we would get a social cost of carbon of $48 per metric ton of CO2." So for every $1 spent, you can save society a cost of $48? A 4,800% social return on your money seems pretty good!

Thanks for such a heart-felt post. I think you're doing exactly the right thing by analysing and understanding what went right and wrong, and moving forward towards bigger and better things with new wisdom to draw on. You've come out of this as a significantly better entrepreneur than when you started. I think the smart money would back you in the long run, because you're the personality type that learns hugely from each experience. Some failure is inevitable, but when you do, you do it fast, and never in the same way twice. This makes success inevitable, too.

Watching your career with interest Charlie!

Nice work! I've been looking at using the REPL to make some web stuff too, so I understand the challenges involved here!
