    Would you buy carbon offsets for your flights?

    Environmentally conscious travelers flying out of San Francisco International Airport will soon be able to assuage their guilt and minimize the impact of their air travel by buying certified carbon offsets at airport kiosks.

    There are a lot of us here that fly often so lets see how popular this would be.

      If we can buy up all the land on the moon now we can save it from the loggers before they get there.

            Actually that's what I thought it was at first. No doubt this company will be pushing for that soon.

              Sounds like a nice way for a few principals to make an easy salary... I'm all for investing money into new energy and the environment, but this sounds pretty hokey.

                Anyone who does this needs to send Prince Mohammad Mundi Madi some money in Nigeria to escape the evil grip of the coup!

                                That shit is a scam. No group is going to help anything unless, take the airlines for example, the airplanes start flying on an alternative fuel.

                                Scam, scam, scam.

                                Go drink you foamy coffee, pop open your MAC air laptop, have your little bluetooth phone attached to your ear while toying with your iPhone and give your money to these tools if it makes you feel like you're making a difference.

                                Oh... while you're at it, you best hurry up and install the solar panels on your roof and get your house powered by the sun. Just don't forget to run power to the garage to park your corn fueled car.

                                    I don't think I've ever heard anyone call Goodwill or the Salvation Army a scam before. What makes them a scam? It's easier to scam was money than it is with hard goods, both of those organizations primarily deal with hard goods.

                                        hahaha, who ever does this is a complete idiot and might as well just open the window and toss the money out, at least someone legit might get some of the cash.



                                        Global Warming = way for Fake tree huggers to get rich. Everyone else suffers, they get rich.

                                            Lowering dependency and consumption of fossil fuels = Good

                                            Scaring people into believing carbon monoxide is killing the planet = Bad


                                            If they were researching alternative airplane fuels I would have been more inclined to contribute... this shit just makes me want to leave a big carbon footprint on their ass.
