If you don't believe that and still insist on paying someone else to consume less, then please consider paying me.

My wife and I telecommute.

We rarely travel.

We cook from whole ingredients and never eat processed or prepared foods.

Both of our cars are high mpg and rarely used.

They are both ten years old and we probably won't replace them for another ten years.

I just finished insulating my house and installed high efficiency windows and HVAC.

I keep the thermostat high in the summer and low in the winter.

All the light bulbs are fluorescent, except for the dimmer above the dining room table.

But to calculate it accurately requires churning through a pile of flights.

I removed all the turf from my property and replaced it with vines and perennials.

There are twenty three trees on the property sequestering CO2 on a continuous basis.

No motorized equipment is required to maintain my garden which is now over ten thousand square feet of CO2 consuming plants.

I would gladly accept the sum of fifteen thousand dollars from Prof Lessig or anyone else to offset his carbon heavy lifestyle.

In return, I would submit to an audit of my lifestyle and I would issue him a certificate stating the amount of his carbon offset.

I could estimate, no doubt.

I'm a big believer in carbon offsets (not so much the cap and trade game, but in the simple internalize-your-externality-sort).

'harm environment'
| 3 |
But I want something more accurate.

Jutta Kill, of the Forests and the European Union Resource Network (FERN), was the most vehement opponent of the practice, arguing it probably did more harm than good.
| 0 |
Carbon offsetting was "an unbelievably inefficient way of reducing emissions," she argued, and its effects were impossible to verify.
| 2 |
In addition, "More than half" of the money given to companies selling carbon offsets went on research and administration costs, "benefiting not the climate but the burgeoning consultancy industry".

"More than half"
| 3 |
So I was really happy to see on the United page an announcement of a "Carbon Offset Program."

"We believe it is worse than nothing because it creates the illusion, or the impression, in the public that action is being taken, while we are not really addressing the task at hand, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions,"

"We believe it is worse than nothing because it creates the illusion, or the impression, in the public that action is being taken, while we are not really addressing the task at hand, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions," Ms Kill told MPs.

Illusions are powerful around here, it seems.

I've posted your feedback on my carbon offsets news blog.

"Carbon Offset Program."
| 0 |
What I expected it to be was a simple way to at least know what the total carbon footprint from your flights for some period was (after all, they have all the data), and ideally, a simple way to buy offsets.
| 0 |
Additionally, there is a reluctance to share the data required for accurate emissions measurement due to perceived potential risks, possibly related to future regulatory concerns.
| 3 |
The technology is certainly available.

When the type of program you imagine IS put in place, the results have been very good.

If you could see them, I know you would want to help.

Dear Ms. LastName

P.S. Please accept the enclosed 2001 calendar and gift tags as a special greeting from our animal friends and Little Shelter.
| 1 |
These are the pawprints of a homeless animal; an abandoned animal, shivering with fear, with no place to call home.
| 2 |
Where will these pawprints lead?
| 3 |
With your help they can lead to Little Shelter’s good food, medical attention and a warm place to sleep for homeless and frightened animals.

“The only no-kill shelter that’s there when you need us” Little Shelter is crowded with animals waiting for homes.

Tara stood stock-still, waiting for the first tiny gleam from the scout craft to appear in the darkness of the wormhole.
| 2 |
Tara fumed.
| 2 |
Of all the impertinence!
| 2 |
Tarrin, no doubt with orders from Mason, was questioning her command decisions.
| 2 |
That's what I get for not using mercenaries.
| 2 |
She returned to her watch, regarding her own reflection in the long window.
| 0 |
The gentle constant breeze of recycled air from the vent above blew an annoying hair against her nose, but she ignored it.
| 3 |
Mahogany-black curly hair, cut short in the typical military style framed a careworn, dark-skinned face.
| 1 |
It was not an attractive face right now; her ebony eyes shadowed by hours on the watch, full lips pursed with frustration.
| 3 |
She had the look of every leader she had ever known.
| 0 |
At six foot two, she stood a full head taller than even her Arrallin first officer.
| 3 |
Her glowering expression completed the imposing effect.
| 2 |
She picked imaginary flecks off her stark gray jumpsuit, and snorted.
| 3 |
You look like hell, Tar.
| 3 |
Don't blow this.
| 2 |
Don't let fatigue get to you.

She used the discretion of the mirrored window to secretively survey her crew.

Harmon was an excellent addition to the bridge team, but was she open minded enough to defy United Earth Command and sever all ties from Earth?
| 2 |
She watched the psi bob her head, unaware of the rest of the bridge, shaking blonde curls as she chattered away with the approaching psi relay on Mason's ship.
| 3 |
She seemed so depthless - self conscious and shallow on the outside, but having that incredible gift.
| 2 |
There had to be more to her.
| 3 |
Well, if she didn't pan out, she'd be terminated.
| 2 |
Any crew member that would jeopardize the project was meat.
| 3 |
It would be a shame to lose that talent, though.

A gasp from the psychic broke her silent vigil, and she turned.
| 2 |
He was what this was all about.

She watched his graceful fingers ending in thick black claws tap out calculations on the panel.

Only those of the Arrallin Insurrection inner team knew he was no common 'beta furry'.
| 2 |
His silken fur, which would be tawny golden and striped with jet black bands, was dyed perfectly to a pure black, and his mane trimmed and thinned as to be indistinguishable from the rest of his coat.
| 1 |
"Results, Harmon?"
| 0 |
His eyes had been treated and darkened to a rich purple to disguise the brilliant golden yellow color that would mark him as an Alpha Arrallin, and leader of his hive.

she suppressed the surge of annoyance that ran through her as she contemplated the psi's gift of getting all the hot news first.

The scout ship re-emerged from the hole - a brilliant speck emerging from a sphere of velvety blackness.

The distinctive whuffle of pleasure rippled through the betas on the bridge, and Rakal let loose a small growl, as if to caution his charges against false hope.
| 3 |
They'd scouted twenty-seven gates so far, and none had turned up anything worth the Insurrection's time.
