Alt-Energy Absolution

Very cool, Xootr, the company that makes my scooter, is now involved in TerraPass, described by the LA Times as 'Kyoto for commuters'. If you can't scoot, bike, walk or take public transport to work, this company lets you neutralize your carbon emissions. Of course, this doesn't make up for the oil resources squandered, but its a good start. And cheap - for a standard car, a year's worth of clean conscience is only about $50.
