Climate: Pacific Forest's Wayburn discusses carbon offset projects set to benefit nation's forests

California utility Pacific Gas & Electric recently implemented a program that allows customers to buy carbon offsets for the energy they use. The money is then allocated to restoration and conservation projects in California. During today's OnPoint, Laurie Wayburn, co-founder and president of the Pacific Forest Trust, explains how her group is involved in the project and discusses how forests around the country can benefit from carbon offset programs like PG&E's. Wayburn also discusses the questions surrounding the Forest Service's plans to sell carbon credits and explains why she believes forests should be addressed in a post-Kyoto climate agreement.
