Apparently Travelocity has partnered with the Conservation Fund to
provide carbon offsets to it's customers. And they're advertising it
with am absurdist bunny cartoon that I cant decide whether I like or
not.
I mean, I guess I like it, because I've watched it four or five times now, so now I'm making it available to you, the EcoGeek reader, to puzzle over yourself. Oh, and you might want to consider carbon offsets too, though I'd go here, not to Travelocity to do it.

Personal Accountability

We live in a society wherein the consequences of our actions are somebody elses problem. Nice to see a direct line of accountability as the topic. Peace
Offset carbon & cure respiratory disease
written by Peter Buck , December 04, 2006
I'll promise to check out carbonfund.org's carbon offset program if you'll promise to check out self.org's Carbon Neutral Club (http://self.org/cnc.asp). You donate to provide micro-loans for 3rd worlders to install solar lighting in place of kerosine lighting. Kerosine fumes are a major cause of respiratory ailments, especially in children. You get your offset (and it is PERMANENT, not like planting trees, that eventually die and release the carbon), the micro-loan empowers villagers (and is paid off in 3 years on kersosine purchase savings), and kids don't get sick.

Science, technology gadgets and...baby seals. We're in a bit of an eco-mess, but we've got the brains to lick any problem. And that's why EcoGeek.org publishes up to ten stories daily about innovations that are saving the planet.
And if that sounds interesting to you, then congratulations, you're an EcoGeek.
