The present invention provides methods and systems for facilitating exchange of rights associated with environmentally relevant items. The methods and systems may include identifying a first environmentally relevant item associated with a first environmentally relevant action, identifying a second environmentally relevant item associated with a second environmentally relevant action, identifying at least one disparity between the benefit of the first environmentally relevant item and the benefit of the second environmentally relevant item and creating an instrument whereby a transaction may be undertaken based on the nature of the at least one disparity.
