Carbon Offset
I was booking an LTL (less than truckload for the uninitiated) shipment today at work, and there at the bottom of the form was an optional charge for carbon offsetting by Terrapass for $1.25. I ticked of the checkbox. I dunno how much this will help, but I guess since we had some margin on shipping, we could try and do some good.
I’m still skeptical about cap and trade. One study reported by NPR show that companys will probably end up doing what’s best for them and not for the environment.
