Carbon Offsets Go Mainstream in NYT
April 24, 2006
The New York Times covers the growing trend of offsetting automobile emissions with "carbon offsets," a relatively inexpensive way to stimulate the production of clean electricity and make a difference on a personal level in the fight against climate change.
It's super-easy: just go to one of several carbon-offset Web sites, calculate the amount of carbon dioxide produced when you drive, fly or otherwise burn fossil fuels, and then buy an offset that pays for an equivalent amount of clean energy. We've covered the idea of carbon offsets extensively in the most recent issue of SASS Magazine -- check it out for lots more info and ideas about how to make your lifestyle more climate-neutral.
