Today I booked my tickets from LAX to ATL via Travelocity. Well. No sooner had I closed that deal than there was a pop-up window suggesting that I “Be a hero. Live at zero.” or some such slogan. This competition had linked to flights being booked and was offering me the opportunity to reduce my carbon footprints of these particular flights with a “green” purchase.

I gotta get my business together.

In our FL electric bill we’re asked to voluntarily contribute an extra $9.75 ...”...for environmental credits associated with cleaner generation sources of electricity like bioenergy, wind and solar.”

Huh?

I’m beginning to believe that all these “carbon” obcessed people have deep-rooted foot fetishes.

:^P

hmmm, wonder if Al Gore is behind that ad? Seems like a scam to me.

In the pagan world of worshiping creation rather than creator, we now have pagan indulgences, aka “carbon credits” with Al Gore as THE HIGH PRIEST OF CARBON CREDITS!

We can be forgiven of all our carbon footprints - Hallelujah!

Well, you may be aware of Carbon Credits, but do you know how much an airplane disturbs the atmosphere??? And with the thousands of flights a day, this all adds up. You are contributing to destroying the environment just by stepping on the plane! It's a crisis!!!

But to assuage your guilt, I am here to help! I am offering Atmospheric Credits: for every mile you fly, disturbing all of those pristine air molecules, an AC offsets your transgression by buying a credit from someone who is NOT flying -- namely me!

Let's see, LAX to ATL, hmmm.....looks like we might need to break out the MasterCard...;-))

(Oh, and if you think you're bad, Raven owes me a new BMW M3 convertible with all of his globe-trotting...;-))
