» alizown - Is everything we do ultimately to make ourselves feel better...

...about ourselves? I read Shirley's article on carbon credits (OK, I searched for something on the subject) and I am on the fence, now more than ever, about whether I should implement such a program. I live on a 10 acre farm that grows organic garlic, we're going permaculture here, live in a log cabin, drive a hybrid, operate a green products business at practically no profit and the profit I do make is donated to the ASPCA. Yes, I'm an angel. So why am I compelled to purchase carbon credits for all of my consuming? Is it to help the planet, or to make myself feel better? Can anyone recommend the most reputable source for these credits?

I haven't done much research on the carbon credits topic but I did hear about it a week or so ago on NPR radio. I just went to Lime.com to see what they have to say about it and they had several links as wells as blogs on it. The one I got alot out of is at this URL: http://www.lime.com/forum/planet/8424/is...
Check it out and let me know if you agree with her.
