On Earth Day, the Catalog Choice servers were working overtime. It is a good thing we are always buying our carbon offsets. Thousands of households across the United States became members of Catalog Choice. Inspired by Earth Day programs across the country, people flocked to Catalog Choice to take responsibility for reducing unwanted mail.
The above map show the distribution of visitors to Catalogchoice.org on April 22nd. The highest concentrations correlate, for the most part, to overall population density in the country. Consumers from every State of the Union used our service yesterday.
Clearly, Earth Day was inspiring for many. Let’s make everyday an Earth Day. Do your part to stop waste and go paperless by using Catalog Choice and telling your friends. Sharing the word is easy with our Invite a Friend service.
Carbon offsets are 21st-century snake oil. They offset *no* current pollution. Not one pound of any pollutant is removed from the environment by their purchase. The offsets merely subsidize the capital and operating costs of technology and and projects that might reduce future emissions but would never be economically viable without the subsidy of the offset. Call these instruments what they are: pollution control subsidy futures.
Amen!!
