Have your summer months included long drives with the family to seasonal destinations? A car that gets 20 mile-per-gallon adds 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) pollution after five roundtrip excursions between New York City and the Hamptons. Yearly totals average six tons of CO2 pollution! |
| Rock groups like the Dave Matthews Band, Guster and Pearl Jam are offsetting the CO2 emissions created from their tours. You too can displace the environmental impact of your driving through offsetting providers like TerraPass, NativeEnergy and Carbonfund.org. They take the money you commit and put it towards renewable energy sources (such as wind power) or reforestation. |
