I have 227 stamps in my passport.
My passport is three years old.
Three years is 795 days.
That is one trip across an international boarder every 3.5 days.
According to Carbon Footprint Checker my travels have put 60,000 lbs of CO2 into the atmosphere.
To neutralize my carbon footprint and appease my conscience it would cost me $357.00
$.33 per day, every day for three years.
Of course this doesn't include energy use at home, in hotels, taxis and the few times I hired a car.
Let's call it an even $1 per day.
$1 per day to erase my stain from the earth. $1 per day allows me to maintain a lifestyle of comfort, travel and westernized prosperity with no further thought for the repercussions of my energy intensive actions.
Such a deal.
