This is the most retarded thing I have ever heard of. At our worst, we produced 4% of the entire CO2 emitted into our ozone. Like many multi-billion dollar industries though, they feed off irrational fears.

Global warming is a natural event that we have no control of. This scares us and we look for answers. So much like another fear many of us have (God), we spend money into carbon credits (or into the church) to make ourselves feel better.

I love driving in front of Prius drivers and blipping the throttle on my diesel that spews black soot

track your carbon footprint…i.e. run this app which kills your G1′s battery faster requiring it to have more frequent charges requiring more use of electricity requiring you to charge it more … … you get my point.

Looks like a beautiful program. But, I don’t buy into the premise of it.

I tried this app a while ago when I first got my G1 and it didn’t work that well. It even started tracking my carbon foot print when I was simply sitting in my chair at home and it started moving down the street.

Oh, the long reach of green hysteria! And this company, Ecorio, sells carbon indulgences too?! Neat.
