Where is goes

Yes does it go on top?

Earlier this week I wrote about a program which lets you give gift a clean carbon slate to your graduate by purchasing carbon offsets. After sharing this intriguing if not practical gift with some friends and relatives I found that not everyone knew what a carbon offset is. Rather than repeat myself numerous times I will share with all of you what carbon offsetting is.

One carbon offset is equal to one metric ton of carbon emissions or greenhouse gas. These offsets can be used by companies to get around carbon caps imposed on them by environmental regulations. Citizens like you and me however, can make use of carbon offsetting to live a “carbon neutral” life. These types of carbon offsetting programs allow individuals to purchase carbon offsetting from a range of companies in an effort to mitigate their impact on the environment. Before you can begin to lead a “carbon neutral” lifestyle you need to calculate your carbon footprint. You can use an online carbon footprint calculator or if you live in the EU you can even track your footprint on your cell phone.

I found that my estimated footprint is just under 18 tons of carbon emissions, which is below our national average. In order to offset my carbon footprint I, as an individual on the voluntary market, have a plethora of choices for carbon offsetting in a number of price ranges. These choices include donating 4 to a verified clean energy fund or planting 25 trees in the UK for 6. Other sources of carbon offsetting also exist at lower prices, ranging from .50 to per ton, which make for a more reasonable payoff to offset my carbon usage.Another way to purchase carbon offsets may be through your power company. For example AEP provides customers the ability to purchase renewable energy certificates to get power from a certified renewable source such as a wind farm. Tobias Buckell who also blogs at WalletPop currently purchases these credits which run at $.70 in order to gain renewable power. According to AEP the average house would need to spend to equal their home usage. Unfortunately the program expires at the end of 2008 so this doesn’t seem like a long term option.

The carbon offset industry has had its share of controversy over the years so before making a purchase of carbon credits, be sure to do your research. In the past people have been scammed into purchasing carbon credits which were not really linked to any carbon market or which were sold multiple times. Another criticism some people have of the program is that it is used as a way of buying your way out of the guilt associated with a high carbon footprint.

While I could see myself participating in a renewable energy certificate program if it was offered by my power company I don’t feel compelled to plant 25 trees in another country to offset my entire carbon footprint. It seems like taking steps to simply reduce my footprint such as biking more, reducing energy use and buying locally are more effective at reducing the carbon released worldwide than trying to remove pollution from the market of corporations.

Do you buy carbon offsets? What motivates you to buy them and where do you purchase the offsets from?

I remember getting really excited when Geo first started producing cars in 1989. Quite apart from the fact that Geo was one of the first new lines that General Motors had put out in years, there was something about the cars themselves. They were reasonably well constructed, had cute styling, and got great mileage.

My Uncle Merle got one for my cousin Meghan, and I remember not being able to stop staring at it. Unfortunately, my father had some (justifiable) concerns about my driving skills and wanted me in a car with lots of heavy metal. He slammed the door on Meghan’s car, tapped the fender, and declared it “tinny.” I know that that was the death knell, and that I wouldn’t be driving a hot little Geo any time soon.

(On the bright side, I ended up getting a 1983 Cadillac Seville from a police auction. I liked the classic styling and the fact that I could put fifteen friends in the car, while my father liked the fact that it weighed a ton and was built like a panzer. I put in a sweet sound system and rode the thing into the ground. In fact, it was the first car that I didn’t total).
In 1997, Geo folded, and its models were combined with those of other GM lines. The last Geo survivor, the Tracker, was discontinued in 2004. Recently, however, the Geo has been gaining increasing relevance. You see, the flagship car of the line, the Metro, gets incredible mileage. While this wasn’t terrifically important in 1990, when gas was fairly cheap, it’s become very important over the last few months. In fact, a 1996 Metro gets 40 miles to the gallon, which is almost the same mileage as the Toyota Prius. Moreover, while Priuses (Prii? Priapuses?) cost ,000 apiece, used and reconditioned Metros are going for under ,500 on eBay.

Oddly enough, there’s been sort of a run on Metros, and some people are even beginning to indulge in Metro speculation, picking the Geos up at used-car lots, cleaning them up, and reselling them for a massive increase. Having witnessed the unlamented death of the line over a decade ago, it’s hard for me to believe that Geo has become such a hot ticket, but it also gives me a little smile. I love the idea of a new generation getting thrilled about the economy car of my youth!

With average gas prices peaking over , it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that you can save money by carpooling. Even though the savings associated with carpooling is clear to me and my carpool partner some people may not realize exactly how much you can save by carpooling.

Thankfully RideSearch.com provides a great calculator to figure out just how much it costs you to schlep to and from work each month. The calculator even takes the maintenance costs of your vehicle into the final cost calculation. The calculator is only one tool they provide, the main draw is that you can use RideSearch.com to find other people to carpool with.

The service helps connect you with carpoolers in the area and takes into account a myriad of preferences for sorting and finding carpool partners. For example you can set your preferences to indicate you only want to share rides with females who don’t smoke, have working air conditioning and will alternate days of driving. Of course the more restrictions you start adding in to the mix the fewer applicants will be remaining.
I currently carpool with one person, but as I tell others about carpooling the interest is rising. I think the calculator may be the information that convinces them to join my carpool. While carpooling with one co-worker is pretty simple, if we add anyone else the “Foundations for successful carpooling”, which RideSearch provides will go a logn way in creating a long term ride solution. The only downside I find with RideSearch is that you have to register and provide your carpool preferences before you can even search the service. I understand that this will help build the pool of carpoolers but it would be nice to get a quick look at how many people are in your area before signing up.

Are you a carpooler? How do you make it work and where did you find your carpool partner?

This is it, friends,the kickoff of the season. It’s just before 7AM as I write this post, the sun is glaring in my face here on Cape Cod, and my yard sale shopping companion is five minutes from a shower. Life is good.

If you’re going out on the circuit this morning, I’d love to hear from you. If you’re still on the yard sale learning curve, here are a few suggestions.

A few days ago, I mentioned bringing assorted denominations of cash. Also bring your checkbook. Often - though certainly not always - sellers will take a local check, particularly on a larger item.

If you haven’t already acquired it, you will want to invest in a detailed street map of your sale areas. There’s nothing more frustrating than wandering around in circles, particularly these days with gas at such a premium. And yes, as many bloggers wrote this week, many of us will be staying closer to home this season.

If your plan includes flea market shopping, understand that it’s more strenuous than yard sale shopping. The car will be more than a few steps away and hopefully you will be carrying some finds as you continue to hunt. Consider a backpack or a mesh or canvas bag with a handle. I keep a couple of folding plastic ponchos in my glove compartment. It’s nice not to be slowed down by a little drizzle. If you’re on the lookout for fragiles, it can also help to have some packing materials in the car.

Collectors bring specific tools, like a magnet for testing metals, and a magnifying glass. Experts know how to clean and rejuvenate everything from plastic to clothes to metals and old wood. For those of us a little less sophisticated, and perhaps more household than collector oriented, there is a limited array of cleaning materials that will accommodate most of what a practical yard saler will buy. These include: glass cleaner, alcohol, jewelry cleaner, silver and brass polish, Murphy’s oil soap, GOOGONE (I’m serious! it does just what it says it does - gets rid of sticky labels etc.), a pile of rags, steel wool, and - if at all possible - a handyman at home. A yard sale shoppers best friend is often her dishwasher.

If you’re hunting the big items (we are this morning - the grand prize would be an armoire), it’s great if you have a phone number of a man with a truck. On the other hand, if you’re really serious, you already have the truck.

Happy hunting!

Smartware products, a division of F&M Tool and Plastics Inc., is in the business of recycling discarded industrial and consumer waste into useful and beautiful new products.

Utilizing everything from computer monitor cases to discarded water jugs and running shoes, Smartware products reclaims waste plastics and returns them to the product cycle in the form of items such as landscape timbers, speed bumps and landscape containers. Possibly the best part of the whole proposition is that they do it all right here in America, reducing our need for landfill capacity and creating much needed economic stimulation.

For an overview of Smartware products, distributor locations and sales team contacts, please check out the company website. A purchase from this company may prove to be not only an exercise in environmental responsibility but also a show of commitment to national pride. Who knows, your old running shoes may now be someone’s patio Rhododendron pot.

What it means. If you’re aware of the age-old plastic-versus-paper debate, then you’re at least indirectly familiar with the concept of life-cycle assessment, or LCA. An LCA is a technique used to analyze or compare products, processes, or services to identify ways to minimize human and environmental impacts. (The life-cycle graphic shown is from the Environment Protection Authority of Victoria, Australia.)

Often referred to as a cradle-to-grave approach, an LCA is typically carried out using software to analyze the cumulative environmental impacts from all stages of a product’s life cycle, including raw-material extraction, product transportation and use and, ultimately, its disposal, reuse, or recycling.

Why the buzz? Although the LCA technique dates back to the 1960s, when awareness of energy and natural-resources depletion was starting to grow, the concept is gaining new ground during these increasingly environmentally conscious times. But even so, don’t expect to see life-cycle assessments spelled out on too many products or services.

That’s because much of the work using LCA tools happens behind the scenes, often using confidential data sets and complex calculations to measure and compare things like greenhouse-gas emissions, natural-resource use, and solid- or hazardous-waste generation, Annual reports from companies like Unilever and Procter & Gamble tout the use of LCAs to evaluate and reduce the impacts of the products they make.

Another increasingly common use of LCAs is to measure and certify improvements in the green-building industry. The National Association of Home Builders and the U.S. Green Building Council are beginning to accept the use of LCAs to help determine whether certain building materials qualify for their certification programs. The U.S. Green Building Council expects to begin offering life-cycle credits toward its LEED certification beginning this summer.

The government is also taking an LCA approach to research products, prioritize, and create better environmental policies. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency uses a “life-cycle perspective” to help identify products with minimal environmental impacts through its Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program.

While LCA tools can offer valuable information, it’s important to note that the results are only as good as the data and analytical models they use, and their results may not be relevant for every situation.

As for that plastic-versus-paper issue? The Sierra Club, a nonprofit environmental organization, points out that the life cycle of each has pros and cons depending on where and how they are made. The better option, says the group, is to use reusable bags instead.—Kristi Wiedemann, Science and Policy Analyst, GreenerChoices.org
