Default Just registered, Carbon credits for sale/lease

I dont drive a hybrid or use a deisel engine, just a plain chevy. However, I dont use it much, nor do I fly on jet aircraft or use a 2-stroke lawnmower, and I start my bbq coals with used newspaper. I dont use much toilet paper either, so I guess I must have a bunch of carbon dioxide not being generated. Anybody feeling guilty about their lifestyle should respond here and for a minimal charge I will assuage your global guilt for a month or longer (extended contracts available).

Jim

I use lots of toilet paper (high fiber diet). I will gladly trade my used butt tape for some of your carbon credits.

I use a manual lawnmower (i.e. 5hrs extra work), don't drive a car but maybe 1 time every 2 weeks. I do use toilet paper, for the minty fresh feel (J/K), I use Solar and Wind power as my main sources of Energy in a subteranian home (tornadoes more than anything caused that idea), and my home is totally electric with no gas burning appliances.

My carbon footprint isn't terribly large.

I spend $200- Au a year, on having trees planted, which probably has a negligible effect re, carbon, but can have an effect on government policy.

It's the grandchildren's world that we may be able to have a positive effect on.

You'll have to find someone as stupid as Al Gore to take you up on that. Al Gore pays extra for the same mix of electricity as his neighbors.

Termites may be intersested if CC's. Ater all, they put more CO2 in the atmosphere every year than man has put there in his existence.

Oh! and all that methane from trees...what a dilema!
