Crazyness

Okay, here is something that is not fish....

Has anyone seen this website? http://www.terrapass.com/.

It is a website that calculates your carbon footprint. It does this by asking you about your car, how much you drive it, the airline trips you take, and where your house is. My cars generate 22,409 lbs of CO2 a year, my house makes 16,200 lbs of CO2, and my air travel accounts for 5,263 lbs of CO2 for a grand total of 44,000 lbs of CO2.

This site gets better!

Not only does it tell you how much CO2 you are putting into the environment, but it also provides a convenient way for you to offset your footprint. You simply give them money. You can even choose how you want them to spend it: establish wind farms, methane mitigation for farms, or landfill gas capture.

And what do I get for my $261.80? A bumper sticker, fridge magnet, postcard stickers, luggage tags, and decals. MAN, that just isn't worth it, unless they had a T-Shirt!
