Greenhouse Gas Emissions Offset

[JasonInAugusta]

Booked a rental car for an upcoming trip and looked through the options...

One of them that was listed was:

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Offset
The Optional Greenhouse Gas Emissions Offset is an optional environmental service chosen at the time of reservation that affords You the opportunity to offset the greenhouse gases emitted by a rental vehicle. This per-rental charge represents the estimated amount (as calculated by TerraPass Inc., a CO2 offset firm) necessary to offset the CO2 emissions produced by the average rental transaction and is not based upon Your specific Vehicle or miles driven. Funds collected from this charge are remitted to TerraPass Inc. See www.terrapass.com for more information.

Interesting.

I have a bridge to sell someone."thumbsup"

Wonder how much of your donation actually goes towards offsetting your carbon footprint? What will they think of next?

That's what all of this "global warming BS" is all about, money!

It's a scare tactic used to frighten people so they will elect someone who can "change" it.

The carbon tax is going to be the end all tax that the libs have been looking for.

It's intent is to control everything and force the liberal agenda on the masses.:x

Reducing your carbon footprint just got a whole lot tastier

• 3.5 ounces of tasty chocolate
• 133 lbs of verified TerraPass carbon offsets come with every bar of chocolate
• 15 tips for reducing your carbon footprint on the wrapper

133 lbs of carbon dioxide is the average American's daily carbon impact on the planet.
Save our planet. It's the only one with chocolate on it...
Please note: we cannot guarantee chocolate will arrive intact during hot weather.

Oh I'm totally buying the big package.

Hell yeah. I'm locked in at that price before they raise it!

Looks like the extra $8 a week in our paychecks from the tax reduction will never cover any of this nonesense.
