I am selling carbon offsets. I did not fly 100,000 miles last year that I could have if I were as rich as Al Gore. I failed to put 40,000 lbs of CO2 into the environment.
That size of carbon offset is available from Terrapass.com for $198, Self.org for $200 and The Center for Environmental Leadership for $240.
I offer a better deal. For just $150 I will not fly 100,000 miles this year. What is more, I will donate half of what I get to feed and educate needy orphans.
If there is enough interest, I will refrain from flying 1,000,000 miles this year. Half of all funds will go to needy orphans.
This is a verifiable reduction in my potential carbon footprint for 2008. You don’t have to worry about whether a project will actually reduce the carbon footprint. I can guarantee results.
