It’s been a busy last few weeks, and I’ve neglected all blog writing. So I’m happy I have something to post today. I received a badge from one of the groups I’ve joined- Brighter Planet. Check them out, it’s worth it! I joined their 350 Challenge and so they donated 136 pounds of offsets in my name, making me ‘carbon neutral’ for a day. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, please do visit my blog post on ‘carbon emissions’.

Here’s how they summarize it:

The average American emits 136 pounds of carbon dioxide each day. About 36 pounds come from driving, flying, and other travel. Another 22 pounds come from heating, cooling, and powering our homes. The final 78 pounds come from producing, transporting, and disposing of all the stuff we buy, and from shared services like schools and street lights. 136 pounds would fill 5,000 balloons — imagine releasing that every day.
