Have you seen the new billboards?
Posted By katie allison granju
Have you seen the new billboards around town for something called GoGreenET.com? Anybody have the scoop on who is behind this effort?

Dunno. But a plug for my b-i-l’s new Carbon Neutral Indulgences* project:
http://savingspecies.org/
SavingSpecies is a collective of senior, conservation professionals, profoundly committed to preventing species extinctions. Preventing species extinctions is the collective’s only objective. We provide a ratings service of projects that seek to do this and connect individual donors to NGOs directly. The projects we evaluate protect existing habitats or restore degraded ones.
SavingSpecies also evaluates how much carbon dioxide will be “soaked up” by the land purchased and restored. Many of us wish to become carbon neutral —that is, to have trees growing and taking carbon dioxide out of the air equivalent to our use of fossil fuels.
* Their words, not mine. Truth in advertising:
Q. Not to be unpleasant, but aren’t you selling indulgences to rich, polluting Americans and Europeans who ought to pollute less in any case?
Yes, and yes. We all ought to pollute less. But if we wait another half century to reduce our carbon dioxide pollution to sustainable levels, we’ll lose a third or more of all life on Earth. Let’s save species now before it’s too late.
Oh, and while there’s only one project reviewed currently, many more will be coming online in the not too distant future.
Yes. Let us see if we can determine who is behind this obviously dangerous liberal effort so local conservatives can find them and snuff out this unAmerican effort as soon as possible. That’s my read on it.
