Letter from my gas company today said I need to grow 27 trees to "balance my CO2 impact."
Come spring, I'll be digging 13 holes - as I already have 14 trees around my house.
(my daughter says if I cut back on my burrito intake I can probably get by with 25 trees)
I'll tell you right now - I ain't raking leaves from 27 trees. They can just stay there. (in a billion years they'll return to oil again)

I don't have a carbon footprint because I ride everywhere

Nice Stig.
Our local power company sends out letters (creating a carbon footprint for those of course) telling me how awful it is that I'm only using less power than about 70% of those around me and how I need to improve on that. Can't say as I'm a fan of the new "PC" in the power companies these days...

Would it be any different if you planted potatoes instead of trees? Scooter drivers should have a little leeway in this. At least you could eat the spuds over the following winter!?

I get a statement every month (separate from the bill) shaming me for my power usage relative to my neighbors.
Thing is, most (about 75%) are south for the winter and their houses are shut down for a few months. So I am being compared to almost zero use.
Postage+paper+etc= wtf?

I gave up my gas guzzling car a year ago. That'll do for my carbon offsetting for now I think!
