Do you have a great idea for combating global warming? Tell me about it.
He's letting people know that this Saturday, July 7, is the Live Earth concert. It's pretty impressive: 24 hours, 7 continents, 2 billion people. But it's more than a one-day event. It's a challenge -- to nations and individuals -- to do something about climate change.
A lot of people think that it's hard. It's not. Here's something I did. My husband and I bought a super-efficient dishwasher and clothes washer and got a couple hundred dollars in rebates back on our water and power bills. We used the extra money to better insulate our 140-year-old house. Now we're a little warmer -- and the world is a little cooler.
Here's something else I did. I went to Carbonfund.org,a partner of Working Assets, where you can offset your carbon output. You can offset 7 tons of CO2 for $38.50. Or offset a cross country trip in your Prius for just $7. Or go ZeroCarbon for $99 a year. Carbonfund.org even lets you choose your offset method -- renewable energy, investment in energy efficiency or tree planting.
If we're going to make the changes needed to avert a climate crisis, we all have to do our part. That's why I'd like to know about your ideas for putting the brakes on global warming. Send them to me at
carbon@workingassets.com. I'll publish them on the Working Assets blog.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Sarah Clusen Buecher

P.S. -- Please share this message with all your friends. We're all in this together!
Heck, I'll offset your CO2 for $30, just pay me through PayPal.....
