Do you know your daily carbon output?

Chances are you are just as in the dark as to your carbon output, both as a person and as a business, as I was just a couple of days ago. Well chances are, if you live in a suburban environment like me and you aren’t within walking distance to very many locations, you have a fairly decent carbon footprint. No need to let your conscience weigh on you though, now you can help compensate a little for that carbon output. Through websites like www.carbonfund.com you can calculate your carbon output and buy the oh-so-cliche-but-environmentally-responsible-so-it’s-still-all-good “carbon credits”. Money spent on these carbon credits will be donated to carbon-reducing projects in order to help offset your output.

Programs like these are great because it allows you, with minimal time spent researching, to offer a cause specific donation that actually goes to help offset your effect on the environment. You might still be a (smaller) part of the problem but you’re now also a part of the solution.
