check out the "carbon calculator" - neat way to determine your impact even if you can not offset it. I like this calculator for it gives you "credit" for the "god" things you do - and illustrates how little changes can make a big impact :)

We all do know that we can never forget about our own carbon footprints!
Thanks Nature Conservancy!

Checked out the calculator. My family is way below the average. I'm still looking for ways to cut down our carbon footprint. I, too, and a member of the Nature Conservancy. Donate what and when you can. Great programs!

They have a really great, easy-to-use carbon footprint calculator on their web site! My score was 24 -- can you beat that? ;)

Thanks Chris...I wasn't a member of Nature Conservancy until NOW!...It's a big topic in Australia at the moment...The government has just released a Carbon Offset policy...That's great!...I's just that no-one seems to understand what costs are involved...Including the government! :)... Cheers.D.
