Simple way to help offset your carbon footprint via your car: http://www.terrapass.com/
This is how much carbon my car puts out:
Your car emits 6,397 lbs of CO2 per year.
You should get a Cross Towner TerraPass.
A Cross Towner TerraPass offsets 8,000 lbs of CO2,
enough to balance one year of your driving.
Vehicle:2003 Acura 3.2CL automatic transmission
Mileage:20 mpg (city), 29 mpg (highway)
Distance:8,000 miles per year
Fuel use:327 gallons per year
Emissions:6,397 lbs CO2 per year
Here's what it means:
Road TerraPass is a decal you place on your car showing that you have sponsored a clean energy project that balances out the environmental impact of your driving.
TerraPass funds clean energy from sources like wind farms, methane capture facilities, and more.
By replacing energy from fossil fuels with clean energy, TerraPass reduces carbon dioxide emissions. These reductions balance the emissions from your car.

I too subscribe to Terra Pass. It's a neat idea, and I'm happy to support it, but it always feels a little bit like the medieval practice of buying indulgences.
What do you think would happen if everybody offset their car's carbon with Terra Pass?
