Interesting site, but much advertisments on him. Shall read as subscription, rss.

Just a heads up, but some of the sites for calculating carbon footprint that you link to no longer are doing that. Specifically the resurgence, carbongym, and chooseclimate sites are either not working or have changed business models.

BTW, I couldn’t agree more about carbon offsetting. That approach takes no real personal responsibility, and doesn’t address the core problem that we have created a lifestyle that’s not sustainable.

Ted: We’re with you. We’ve yet to delve into the subject in a serious way, but we will. There are certainly two sides to this debate, together with different ways of going about it.

Whilst cheatneutral is highly entertaining it does not offer a proper evaluation of carbon offset programmes.

What you should be doing is informing people how to select what is good. Yes we should all be reducing our carbon emissions – but it is impossible to get to zero. Clearly you are reading this on a pc/laptop which has embodied emissions and uses a power source. So you are causing the problem too and there are choices you can make to mitigate your impact on the environment. So why not educate yourself as to the quality offset schemes that are available and choose one. Alternatively wait for government to do something and watch the water levels rise…
