Guilty Conscience?

Do you have a guilty conscience about the carbon footprint that you are leaving in this world? Visit www.terrapass.com. For a reasonable price, without raising a finger, you can claim to have offset your CO2 emissions.

For example, recently Seattle’s power utility company, City Light, claimed to have net zero CO2 emissions because it had paid off various companies around the world to offset its contribution to global warming. But, nothing has changed. City Light still spews about 200,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually. Although City Light has been forbidden from purchasing anymore CO2 offsets, talk about passing the buck.

I find it amazing that we can fix our global warming problem simply by manipulating the books. I wonder if the environment sees the difference!
