CO2-phobe takes fossil-fueled trip around the world; offsets the guilt with a tithe

Carbon Offestting and Solar Panels - Burdett, United States Travel Blog
The donation was for around 10% the cost of my RTW trip. Like tithing that feels about right. However I do want to be clear, mostly to myself, that offsetting is in no way a positive solution for our environmental problems. Nor is it a way to psychologically sooth any trauma I might incur from realizing what harm the emissions I cause create. It is merely a way to limit some of the destruction and to practice awareness of responsibility for my actions.
