Carbon Credits

Using the idea of a "carbon credit" is like buying your kids a present instead of being at that important game. It's like buying flowers for your girlfriend when you've.... uhm. It's like calling bagels and frappuccinos "food" and wondering why the yoga isn't making you "slimmer".

It's like doing whatever pleases the heck out of you without consideration of a simple fact. If something is actually important and requires you to change your behavior, you can't credit or buy that away. And you shouldn't be surprised when someone follows your lead while little seems to be changing.
