Hope for the Future

My earlier post on the whole state of the world and “why bother” has kept me thinking.  Today I received an email from the National Wildlife Federation encouraging me to join an organization that offsets carbon use and emissions.  I have done a cursory checking out, and it looks very good.  http://carbonfund.org/ is an organization that purchases the emissions permissions (love rhymes like that) and keeps them, preventing some of the pollution problems.  They also help fund alternative energy sources.  There is an emissions calculator that lets people see how much they contribute to the whole global-warming thing.
