How much does Carbon Offsetting cost?
a mid-sized 30 mpg car driving 12,000 miles/year
will create about 3.55 ton footprint of CO2/year.
Using Carbonfund.org's calculator this would cost only about $19.50
or $1.63/month to be offset!
This means that for a very small amount of money
you can drive the equivalent of a zero-CO2-emission car!

Or maybe "financing 10 Trees for $6"
is more your speed: Ten for Six
(of course if you own your own land,
you could always just plant the 10 Trees yourself --
and become Carbon Neutral on your own
It's that easy!)
===================
Carbonfund.org reduces the threat of climate change
by making it easy and affordable for any individual
or business to reduce their carbon footprint
and support climate-friendly projects.

But US Citizens DO NOT need to follow their Government's lead.
Follow the beat of your own drummer.
Stand up for the planet.
Make a difference, and erase those Carbon Footprints.
Take responsibilty for your own CO2 output,
No one else will ...
There's no time to lose.

It’s really too bad that CO2 output,
weren’t as “visible” as “littering”
then just maybe people would be more inclined
to “pick up after themselves”
instead “tossing it out the window”
(or out their Tail-pipes, in the case of CO2).
Invisible pollution is still caused by someone.
We all have are own Carbon Footprints
