Purchasing a Carbon Offset can be fun. You do get a great feeling knowing you've contributed either to renewable energy or tree planting. But I've found a couple of really fun ways to offset carbon. Something to think about year round, but especially during April which hosts Earth Day.
1. Play A Game!
At the Greenwala website, a green social networking site, you can play "Treewala" a trivia game that for every question you answer correct you receive a leaf. Once you have 20 leaves a tree is planted. This is done through AD revenue. It's fun and you can learn some things while you play!
2. Treetinis!
At Uncommon Ground, an environmentally responsible restaurant in Chicago, Treetini's are sold. A Treetini is a martini with a twist. For every Treetini you buy a tree is planted! The last time I was there over 5,000 trees had been planted. Another fun way to plant a tree! I'm going with a group of friends on April 9th in an effort to "plant a forest" for Earth Day.
I am sure there are other great ways to offset carbon. If you know of any please leave a comment, I'd love to hear about them.
being green, living simply, enjoying health, and having fun
