You found a Lookie! (q9s)               Here's what this lookie contains...

I travel a lot for DevelopMentor. In fact, last year I flew about 62,760 miles (that's 101,002 KM).

It completely floors me that this generated 14,100 lbs (6,395 KG) of CO2! Quite upsetting really. 14,100 lbs is more than the weight of 3 "average" US passenger cars!

Well, that jet fuel is never coming back. But at least we can buy carbon offets and make a small investment in renewable energy and zero out that insane amount of carbon. I have used

Terra Pass

Powered Green

for my offsets. It only costs around $100 USD to make things right again. If you have kids or care about the future, keep this in mind. It seems extremely negligent to do nothing.

Do you travel a lot? Have you considered its impact? I hope you will...
