Reviewed by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite The Carbon Credit Crusader is penned by author Monty Nereim in the realistic fiction, environmental writing, and interpersonal drama genres. In this fascinating work, an enterprising and homeless visionary discovers the profitable world of carbon credit and offset exchanges, which gains immense support from climate change enthusiasts. Despite the widespread belief that these exchanges help reduce CO2 levels, the protagonist realizes their ineffectiveness. Despite this, the exchanges provide a sense of accomplishment, leading everyone involved to feel good about their efforts. Author Monty Nereim puts a lot of detail, attitude, and atmosphere into crafting an eye-opening read and a fascinating journey into the world of carbon credit exchanges. The plot is accessibly penned with straightforward language and good contextual clues, and it sheds much-needed light on the complexities and contradictions that plague modern environmental activism. The protagonist's realization that these exchanges don't effectively combat climate change highlights the gap between perception and reality in environmental initiatives, and it’s all delivered in a natural way that makes the plot richer and more interesting as a result. The exploration of the protagonist's journey, from homelessness to entrepreneurial success and subsequent imprisonment, serves as a poignant commentary on the intersection of capitalism, environmentalism, and social justice.
