My Blog is Carbon Neutral!

Came across this website which was featured in SITS and decided to join in and support this cause. Excerpts in green colored fonts are copied from the website itself. I've also included the button below in the "Support & Causes" section at my blog's sidebar.

According to the website, “My blog is carbon neutral” is an initiative, originally started in Germany by the “Make it Green” programme, that has the goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. We plant a tree for your blog and thereby neutralise your blog’s carbon footprint for the next 50 years! Everyone can make a small contribution to the environment. Every tree counts!

You can read more about how it works from this website as well. In general, "An average blog causes 3.6kg (8lb.) of carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, a tree neutralises the carbon dioxide emissions of a blog. Since a tree lives for an average of 50 years, carbon dioxide emissions of your blog can be completely neutralised for this time period."

I believe that every little bit of effort does help. So if you are interested (like me) in joining this, you can read more here. Happy belated Earth Day everyone! :D
