Established Titles does not plant a tree either. "The only thing established titles does is donate money to an actual tree planting company," Shafer said.
That's more or less what most companies claiming to be "carbon neutral" do, it's hardly a unique scam
Even if they were doing it themselves, a paid employee would be paid to do it. I don't see how paying an "actual tree planting company" is much different, unless they straight up didn't do it.
You probably get a lot less trees out of it. More companies need their admin cuts, so maybe by the end of the line your $100 for trees is only $10, if that.

If they were scamming anyways, they wouldn't even need to donate somewhere to plant the tree, so, I mean, there is that.
