For something you can't really see, and that nobody really forces you to buy, carbon dioxide is sure worth a lot of cash. The voluntary carbon dioxide market was worth $331-million last year, and the trade in carbon dioxide tripled since 2006 to 65-million metric tons, says a report released Thursday by New Carbon Finance, a leading carbon market analyst. The trade comes from people and businesses that decide to reduce their ecological footprint by paying someone else to plant trees or buy wind power.
