Being balanced about what we do in live means that hopefully this planet will recover from our excesses in the twentieth century. Vic reminded me about the future forests campaign to make your activities neutral in terms of your carbon emissions. Quite a few music bands and artists have become carbon neutral. To see how you fare have a look at the carbon neutral calculator, I'm a sinner for the number of flights I take.
Living in the UK means that I pollute the equivalent of 15 trees worth, just being here. The idea of the scheme is that you pay around £8 per tree to put yourself in balance. Seems like a good idea, a sort of voluntary green tax. The forests get planted in various places worldwide, from Scotland to Mexico.
Why not plant the trees anyway (there is no reason greater to plant a tree than planting a tree)and use other green forms of travel
oh yeah, in a world that produces so much pollution, how can you keep clean that which is dirty, and if you do find ways to clear the pollution, it is imposible to escape since the pollution returns to the earth and in return pollutes us
thanks for your thoughts
we do need to think carefully about how we manage the world, as it is a slow system to change.
Cancun was a disappointment, improving the lot of the developing nations is important I think.

Living in America, i am among the highest carbon producing people on this planet, and i think this organization has given me, and all the other greedy bastards on long island a good oppurtunity to clear out some of the crap we have produced. Though i am still only 18, i still feel obligated to participate in this. I'm just thankful an organization like this exists.
