Chevrolet, a unit of GM, will become the first company to purchase carbon credits in a new program administered by the U.S. Agriculture Department (USDA) in an effort to prevent natural grassland from being converted into cropland. GM is purchasing almost 40,000 metric tons of carbon credits from North Dakota ranchers, which will protect around 6,000 acres from large-scale crop development... Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that this announcement is the “first-of-its-kind” and that the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by GM’s purchase will be the equivalent of taking 5,000 cars off the road. thinkprogress.org/climate/2014/11/17/3592898/gm-climate-change-protect-grass/
