Shopping for Carbon Credits


For those of you who've been struggling with the whole carbon credit concept, here's a great (and in-depth) investigation of it from Salon.com. What I find most interesting is that in the end, the author's reasoning and investigation lead her to prioritize taking action at home--thereby avoiding the need to trust others to take action (utilities, corporations, NGO's, etc.), while simultaneously providing a sense of accomplishment via individual action (a very pragmatic, and in some ways distinctly American approach).
