So as most of us, I've been increasingly preoccupied with the environment. The most pessimist among us will say that it's too late so why bother, but I can't resign myself to it. I have to do my best to try to save this planet. When I was a kid, I wanted to be an environmentalist and I used to cry when watching the discovery channel (until my parents thought it was enough and forbade me to watch it).
So I recycle, I compost, I try to ride my bike as much as I can, I use a diva cup, I try not to buy bottled water, I use natural cleaning products...etc. But the real problem is greenhouse gas, as we all know. So how to reduce our emissions more efficiently? Well, I found this fantastic website called sustainable travel international. It allows you to buy back your greenhouse gas emissions when you travel. So for example, my plane trip to Ethiopia will produce 5.2581 tons of CO2. I can buy it back though by investing in carbon offset projects that verifiably reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It will cost $80,19 (US). You can calculate and donate through the World Wildlife Fund site.
So is anyone taking a plane this summer? Think about doing this, please. I'm doing it and I think it's worth it when you think what's at stake, no?
