Are Carbon Offsets Real?
It may feel hip to go
carbon neutral
, but
are carbon offsets real
? Now you can find out by reading Clean Air Cool Planet's
Consumer's Guide to Carbon Offsets
which asseses 30 providers of carbon neutrality and sets out criteria for understanding which are doing the best to help you save the planet. The consumer's guide reads more like an enviro geeks master's thesis, but it quickly becomes clear that the core of the matter is
additionality
, i.e.
to what extent will this investment create emission reductions
in addition
to those that would have occured in its absence
. If this is all too much for you and just want to cut to chase and save the world, you should just take the pledge at
Treasure Our Planet
. It's pretty simple stuff.

Back to Eden
When the
Glen Canyon Dam
was completed, it took 18 years for the waters of the Colorado River to flood 186 miles of the most
beautiful canyonlands
in the world. David Brower called it America's "most regretted environmental mistake."
But now Glen Canyon is coming back
.

Create Your Own Industrial Contamination
There's Gold in Them Thar PCs.
If you're worried about the growing problem of
e-waste
, if you don't want to
ship your toxins overseas
, you now have another option. You can
recover heavy metals (precious and otherwise) in the privacy and comfort of your own home.
Just make sure you leave a window open so you have some fresh air.
