Have y'all seen this new scam? In order to reduce your "carbon footprint", and individual can pay this company $100 a year to take over 50,000 lbs of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Are you f-ing kidding me? Why try to conserve and change your lifestyle when you can just pay a company to relieve your guilt. Wow, this sounds alot like the selling of indulgences by the Catholic Church during the middle ages. As you can guess, Al "Green" Gore claims to live a "carbon neutral" life style because he purchases these "credits" even though his home uses more energy in a month then the average American's house does during an entire year. Oh, and one more thing! Green Gore is buying these credits from a company he is part owner of. Can you get anymore crooked then this!?!?!?!?!

If anyone would like to purchase carbon offsets, I will be willing to plant trees on your behalf for the small fee of $75 a year for individuals and $275 a year for a family of four. I am getting myself in on this gravy train.
