Normally I won't use this blog to push any kind of agenda, but with Earth Day coming up, I thought I could justify a little environmental nudging...
I know we can't call make the switch to hybrid cards or convert all our homes to solar power right now, but this website www.gocarbonzero.com does allow you to make a difference. It will calculate your annual carbon footprint and - if you like - you can make a donation which will be used to plant enough trees to offset your carbon dioxide output for the year. Just for reference, to neutralize my CO2 emissions, it was a donation of about $60. Money well spent! It's still not as great as carpooling, cutting down on your power usage or relying solely on renewable energy but it's a little something to make a difference.
And if you don't do this, it means that you hate polar bears. And New Orleans. And penguins. And your grandchildren.
