Carbon Credits
February 19th, 2007 |GVB:
I just got confirmation that 18,000 lbs of my family’s CO2 (69 fill-ups) will be neutralized thanks to TerraPass. Less than $100 covered our guestimated annual driving in 2 fairly efficient cars.
According to TerraPass’ “Around Towner” and “Cross Towner” pricing structures, neutralization is $.10 / gallon.
I don’t know much about carbon credits, but I did not know they were so cheap. I think that I am going to sign up Auto le Smithers for this program.
Garrick asks:
Why isn’t carbon neutralization built-in to the Gas Tax?
It should be, and I think it will be in the near future. The more awareness people have regarding the issue of carbon emission the more they will be willing to pay a small price for very little behavior change on their part.
