Are carbon neutral schemes a good idea?

I am thinking here of schemes to offset the emission of carbon dioxide involved in an activity (for example an air flight) by reducing emmission of carbon elsewhere (for example by helping finance a wind power or biomass scheme)

Have you ever wished you could fly like a bird?

I’m thinking of learning to hangglide. I hear it isn’t as dangerous as it was 30 years ago when people pioneered it. Nowadays hardly anyone plummets into the hard ground and kills themselves. I can’t understand why I never looked into this before. It’s a little expensive for lessons but I could buy my very own brand new hangglider for around $2000. I think a hangglider would be as close to real flight as a human could get with the wind in your face and no engine noise. Atleast until somebody builds a flapping version.
