I have tried to limit the amount of travel I do - I go without seeing close friends who live across the state (I haven't visited them in two years), I don't go on long car trips for vacation, I try to limit the flying I do (to once or twice a year), I carpool.<BR/><BR/>We need to reduce our travel and reform our travel habits, not just trade or buy our way out of the travel we do.<BR/><BR/>Seems like we are temporizing while Rome burns.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for talking about this stuff.

Should I fly and then hire a car when I’m there or should I put my car on the boat and sail? Carbon offsets allow me to put a rough price on the carbon emissions of either of the options and that helps me decide.</I><BR/><BR/>That's easy.
