An interesting concept, great PR tactic.
How does it work? A company out of Germany is planting a tree if you include a blog post about their initiative. Then email it the link to your blog post, and presto! It will plant a tree on your behalf to offset your greenhouse gas emissions created by blogging.
Although not the answer to all of our climate change problems, carbon offsets are one of the many of tools in the toolbox we can use.
Why Go Carbon Neutral?
1) In many cases, it's impossible to reduce your greenhouse gas emissions to zero.
2) You can help support renewable energy projects.
3) Lots of people are doing it!
Governments
Athletes
Businesses
Bands
Movie Studios
But always remember:
Don't purchase carbon offsets if you can spend the money on decreasing your emissions!
Be weary of anyone who just takes the business-as-usual approach to climate change.
