» 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?
