There is a fairly decisive propaganda campaign by the timber industry to paint timber plantations as "Green" but the truth is they carry a whole range of problems.
Offset carbon trading with the credits going to renewable energy sources though is an absolute champion act for the planet, very commendable.</description><link>http://www.boredomistan.com/2008/january/guilt_money</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.boredomistan.com/2008/january/guilt_money/#c20080127150929</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Jan 2008 04:09:29 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment from Dr dooshy</title><description>yay4u, a few black balloons were stopped from floating into our atmosphere.
carbon emissions are a natural part of mankind's evolution, and destroying our planet over the course of several thousand years is our right.
jesus died for our sins, one of which is totally fucking up this planet.  i wonder how many black balloons of carbon are created when a terrorist blows himself up? maybe you can pick up the slack, silpy, and buy some more credits to offset those chaps.</description><link>http://www.boredomistan.com/2008/january/guilt_money</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.boredomistan.com/2008/january/guilt_money/#c20080120222320</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 11:23:20 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment from Mat</title><description>The public can't expect industry to clean up its act without taking some responsibility themselves for consuming their products. That's like suing McDonalds for making you fat.

Spot on. The way some people carry on its as if the Industrial Revolution was forced down our unwilling pastoral romantic throats. "...and then the corporations get all... corporationy"</description><link>http://www.boredomistan.com/2008/january/guilt_money</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.boredomistan.com/2008/january/guilt_money/#c20080120114434</guid><pubDate>Sun, 20 Jan 2008 00:44:34 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Comment from djnapkin</title><description>Well I just calculated my trip to the Philippines a couple months ago produced 5 tonnes of CO2 and would cost $115.00 to offset. =/ 

I think I'll use the carbon reducing method but I'll do it myself and just hold my breath for a few seconds now and then, and eventually that will offset it. Fuck, cash is a much scarcer resource for me than clean air.</description><link>http://www.boredomistan.com/2008/january/guilt_money</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.boredomistan.com/2008/january/guilt_money/#c20080120024634</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Jan 2008 15:46:34 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
