Apparently, living a "carbon-neutral lifestyle" includes giving at least one of it's proponents $10 per ton of carbon dioxide saved. Can you say, scam? Behold:

YES! I Want to Join SELF’S Carbon Neutral Club

That’s great! It’s a quick, easy two-step:

Step One: Calculate your emissions by choosing a carbon calculator to work out what your personal emissions were for last year. For a choice of calculators, see www.earthfuture.com/climate/calculators.

Step Two: After using the calculator, click here to make your contribution to SELF, at $10 per ton. Welcome to SELF’s Carbon Neutral Club!

You can also offset the emissions from a flights, or holiday. Go to www.chooseclimate.org/flying to calculate your emissions from flying, then return here to offset them, at $10 per ton.

Typical liberalism. I pledge $10 bucks! And get this: the organization that published this tripe is called SELF (Solar Electric Light Fund). You can donate money so they can use it to offset the emissions of the little people in "Bhutan, the Solomon Islands, Tanzania or one of the other countries where SELF works." Narcissus would be proud.
