TerraPass - Carbon Offsets for Driving, Flying, & Home/Business Energy Use

Think about how much you drive and fly to your favorite shred spots each year? If you're like me you probably rack up a good amount of miles which is causing a good amount of carbon dioxide emissions (I drive 400 miles/weekend to get to Tahoe). Good thing that TerraPass, a social enterprise based in San Francisco, CA provides carbon offsetting products available to individuals and businesses that lets you take responsibility for your environmental impact and reduce it. TerraPass helps you calculate how many pounds of carbon you emit and then provides you with a number of carbon offset packages. TerraPass uses proceeds from member purchases to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects such as wind farms and methane digesters. TerraPass products include a Road TerraPass to offset car emissions, a Flight TerraPass to offset airplane emissions, a Home TerraPass for home energy use, a Business TerraPass for organizations, and a Wedding TerraPass for weddings and other events. For more information and to purchase go to www.terrapass.com.
