Green Living Ideas

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why I have not come across this website before, but hey, I guess you learn something new everyday, huh? I stumbled across www.greenlivingideas.com this morning as I was searching for more eco-travel ideas. It could be argued, of course, that travel in general is not an environmentally concious/conservative thing to do, but for some of us, it's a guilty pleasure that we may never be able to shake. Specifically, I was looking for information on off-sets that do not involve planting trees. You may not have heard this before, but planting a tree is not really the most effective way to offset carbon. Don't get me wrong now -- trees are great! But there are some drawbacks to the way some of the tree-planting is being handled. Plus, there are other options that some argue will have a much greater impct. More on this next week. For now, I just want to leave you with this great website as a fairly comprehensive resource. Happy reading!
