I think their project is great, their intentions good, and I dont doubt their are putting the best on it. But I have to be realistic. I guess 60 dollars a year cannot do nothing against facts like the one which says a Land Rover sends 8000 kilograms of co2 per year to the atmosphere. If we want to contribute in the fight against the rainbow effect, lets bet for hybrid cars, solar heatings at home and wind mills. Unfortunately, good intended ideas are not always the best ones...<br/>More about what I think in <br/>http://cocosworld.wordpress.com/2006/05/04/get-your-conscience-clean-by-only-60e-limpia-tu-conciencia-por-solo-60e/ <br/><br/><a></a><a></a>Posted by<a><b> </b></a><a HREF="http://cocosworld.wordpress.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="cococomments at ya dot com">coco</a> I agree with Carbonfund.org guys.
