Some poop releases methane, a much worse greenhouse gas than Co2.
Fun fact, when striking oil, you often encounter methane pockets as well, the gas is commonly just burned in a giant flare, this is mainly done for safety, to prevent gas from accumulating on the ground and risking an explosion, but also far reduce the greenhouse effect of the gas.

The thing is that these carbon credits make it so that things which would otherwise reduce CO2 in the atmosphere don’t happen unless some money changes hands. Most of the time credits effectively do nothing.

Yeap, CCs are mostly BS.
