Clinton Campaign To Go 'Carbon Neutral'
(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON To observe Earth Day on Sunday, Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign said it would become "carbon neutral" to help fight global warming.
"We all must act -- and that includes our campaign," the Democratic front-runner said in a statement Friday.
The campaign said it would take several steps to conserve energy, such as buying 100 percent recycled paper products, installing motion-controlled lights and purchasing carbon offsets through Native Energy, a Vermont-based company that produces renewable energy.
Billy Connelly, a spokesman for Native Energy, said the campaign was providing information on its energy use -- the square footage of its office, aircraft and ground transportation, hotel accommodations and other sources -- and the company calculates the campaign's total "carbon footprint."
The campaign will then purchase offsets -- renewable energy such as methane and wind that could be placed immediately on the energy grid -- to neutralize the carbon emissions the campaign is producing.
Like other presidential contenders, Clinton campaigns extensively in private planes -- a much less energy-efficient mode of travel than flying on a commercial carrier.

Me! I inherited oodles of CC's from dead Democrat voters. We can start by hocking them to gullible Mrs C. and the 'Carbon Neutral' booboisie entourage.
When you find out - post a thread. There are a lot of us who’d like to know, I think.
I assume this means that Hillary and Harold Iches pledge never to break wind?
Thomas O. Boucher Jr. has been a Managing Director of Ingalls & Snyder LLC
Ingalls and Snyder is an investment advisor firm.
NY(D) Nita Lowry is credited with expanding her fortune investing in a Ingalls and Snyder value fund.
I’m sure there are plenty of grafts for friends of Billy in this Native Energy carbon offset scam.
I wonder how many more lies they can run on. It’s just unbelievable.
Hillary should lead by example and stop exhaling.
No, she’s going to f*rt enough gas to run her campaign and cart her entourage around the country. The sorry windbag is probably capable of doing it, too.
At the risk of sounding terribly crass, it could be argued that terrorists and mass murderers do far more to reduce the global footprint using the most crude of all methods; carbon-reduction by the numbers.
I’m having a major “Alice Moment.”
It’s all Looking Glasses.
I have an ample population of idiot liberals around me that I could easily make a fortune on.
Three adults and $100. That would be a full corporation.

More Inconvenient Truths About Al Gore
....Participant, NativeEnergy and Warner Bros. partnered in a similar way on Stephen Gaghans provocative thriller about the global oil industry, Syriana. As a result, Syriana became the first climate neutral major motion picture, as 100% of the carbon dioxide emissions generated by the production were translated into investments into renewable energy.
An Inconvenient Truth and Syriana. This is getting interesting.
She could pledge to stop lying and we’d never hear from her again
Don’t carbon offsets work both ways? If you sell carbon offsets from your wind farm, you are now accepting the “carbon footprint” from someone else, thereby making you no longer carbon neutral.
Seems to me the only way a wind farm can brag is if they DON’T sell carbon offsets.
The only way to become Carbon Neutral is to quit Breathing.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Thanks for the early morning belly chuckle.
These people never cease to continue to make me laugh!
I want to help. Let's ground her aircraft, drain her car tanks, and cut off her campaign offices' electricity.
