Quote:Great. So, next time you put CO2 into the atmosphere, just be sure to take it out again, and everything will be hunky dory. That would be a hell of a carbon tax - carbon neutral tomorrow!Well, yes. I have participated in local University extension ecology programs since I was about 10 years old. Most are carbon offsetting, or pollution clean up efforts. Every arbor day, for example, I go out and plant around 1000 trees in places they are needed. What's the carbon offset of around 40,000 trees?
I feel that I am that elf that helps clean up the planet.
