Greener Living #28 Carbon Offsetting

Air traffic is the fastest growing source of greenhouse-gas emissions, so when you do fly, consult a carbon-offsetting organization such as Climate Care to "carbon-offset" your journey. Climate Care determines your flight's emissions and the cost to offset the CO2. For example, to offset that round-trip flight between New York and Los Angeles, you would pay about $10 to Climate Care, which invests in forestry and energy-efficiency projects. For more information, visit climatecare.org.

Carbon offsetting should be a mandatory charge for airline tickets and for gas at the fuel-pump. This is one way to help our out of control carbon emissions.
