I’d like to bring this back around to something analytical and avoid name calling. Here’s how we can easily bring our carbon footprint to Zero and be like Al Gore.
Assumption:
Al uses 20x the average households energy, but buys back carbon credits for about $8,280 per year. Net carbon footprint = ZERO. He’s a hero.
Solution:
Let’s have all those average homeowners follow suit and purchase enough carbon credits to bring their footprint to zero. This comes to $8280/20 = $414. For a measly $414 per year for the average household we can all be carbon neutral like Al Gore. Then we are all heroes. Does this solve the problem ?
Now I can leave the TV on 24 hours a day and just buy another $20 in credits per year to cover it. Cool. I love this energy conservation thing.
