How do you feel about this? Is this an effective means of offsetting carbon footprints, or is it as the Rainforest Action Network executive said, "It’s ironic...G.E. supplies parts for coal-fired plants, so its credit card offsets emissions it helps create.”?
Would you consider getting one of these?
Have you seen any similar promotions?

"We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it." - Marie Curie
This is the first time I have see this type of sales pitch and I think that they will get a lot if people to buy into it, I think it would be a better idea to start projects around your house that reduce greenhouse gases instead of invest in some "offsetting ones carbon footprints scam".
and I bet this is not last of "save the world buy this" that we see with global warming now in the news every scam artist out there will be looking for a Quick buck.
