Do you know what a carbon offset ACTUALLY is? Check out this great interview with Peter Schweizer arguing that carbon offsets are simply a way for people with money to outsource their moral obligation to be more green.
See, here's the thing: global warming is a symptom of more than carbon overuse. Its part of a larger habit of consumption that is killing us. When will we get it? All the carbon offsets in the world won't help us if we continue to need more house, more car, new clothes, new furniture, better bargains, more stuff. Newer. More. Both antithesis to reduce, reuse, recycle, conserve.
