World Offset
READ MORE ABOUT:
At World Offset, you can make a public (or anonymous) pledge to reduce your personal carbon footprint by taking specific actions at home and in the office.
You can pledge to go on a completely vegetarian diet this week, for instance, like Melissa Ebertz of the United States did, and save 14 pounds of carbon dioxide, or you can recycle all your newspapers this year, like Uganda's Dan Smink promised to, and save 184 pounds of global-warming emissions. Alternatively, you can take a page from Guus Boudestein of the Netherland's play book and substitute two short plane trips with train rides, a manuever that will prevent 410 pounds of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere.
Besides offering topics such as food, drink, transport, home, mail, and work for you to delve into, World Offset also provides facts and figures that paint a vivid picture about our patterns of consumption. Plus, the site tallies up the potential carbon dioxide you'll save if you keep to your side of the bargain. ::World Offset
