Carbon offset your trip to WaterfrontExpo 2008

Check the activities of the company for which you opt: a study funded by the United States-based non-profit organisation, Clean Air-Cool Planet, widely regarded as a leader in the field, gives only eight out of 30 providers of carbon "offsets" in the USA, UK, Germany and Ireland a score of more than five out of 10 for the service they offer in taking carbon out of the atmosphere. www.cleanair-coolplanet.org/ConsumersGuidetoCarbonOffsets.pdf
