C'mon, time to sort out your carbon offsets

not so much of a new year's resolution as time to spare over the Christmas holidays.

I've offset the odd plane flight and train ticket in the latter parts of 2007 so I thought I'd buy some offsets for my car, bus, train travel as well as my home.

easy peasy at www.co2balance.co.uk ... just make best guesses on your usage levels and choose your favourite project to fund.

I reckoned 12,000 miles in the car, 200 by bus, and 1,000 by train plus about £1k on fuel bills just to be on the safe side. A princely sum of £105 and I've chosen to use it to contribute to renewable forrests in Cornwall. Of course this is in addition to buying green electricity and gas but here's a case where I'm happy to double pay.
