Hi everyone!
So with 2014 knocking on the door, I am going through my end of the year donations and also, offsetting the carbon footprint of my goddamn travel for 2013 and 2012, because I spaced out last year!
I use http://www.carbonfund.org/individuals
it's pretty awesome - there are nice calculators on the site where you can specify your train, plane or car travel and it calculates the CO2 emissions and the $$ amounts it takes to offset it. Well, the best thing to do is NOT TO TRAVEL at all - but since that is not realistic - this is the least I can do....
In my case, 2012 was BAD - Radiohead tour contributed a little, but overall - 4 trips to Europe, 2 trips to the West Coast, 2 to Texas, 2 to FL - that's pretty ridiculous. I was much better behaved in 2013 :-)
ANyways - I encourage you guys to use their little calculator and offset the flights. - they are the worst. You can specify the three main way of how you want the money to be spent: alternative energy, energy efficiency - poke around their site.
And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
