Conservation should always be first and foremost, with offsetting to help with the rest. @The Modern Gal - The way I understand it is that Brighter Planet is paying for the gift offsets (which would explain why there is a limited number). I got the notice about these gift offsets through them as my credit card is through Brighter Planet. Their credit card works like a lot of points cards do, except that for every dollar spent it goes towards a certain amount of offsets. They partner with Native Energy to do the offsets (they work on setting up new alternative power projects). Merry Christmas to you too! @genna – Yeah, that’s definitely something to think about.

I couldn't figure out how the offsets were being paid for. Do you know any more about that? (I confess, I don't know as much about Brightest Planet as I probably should.) Merry Christmas!

Happy holidays to you! Something for us all to think about re: conservation: if I'm doing the math right, it would take 154 trees to absorb one short ton of carbon dioxide. The United States produces 18-20 tons of carbon dioxide per capita annually. Oh wow, this is quite excellent. Happy holidays to you!
