Free Carbon Offsets
Click here to claim a gift for yourself: a free day of carbon offsets from Brighter Planet, with the request that, in turn, you try to conserve during the holidays. Or go to Jeffrey Zeldman's blog if all of my friends/family gifts have been used already, since this guy has bought enough offsets for all the readers of his blog.
(FYI, in case you have no idea what I'm talking about — Carbon offsetting is a concept rather than something tangible; a purchase of carbon offsets is designed to counteract the effects of CO2 emissions by investing in renewable energy sources like wind and solar, so getting a day's worth of carbon offsets means you're "carbon neutral" for a day. It's kind of like planting a bunch of trees, if you want to think of it that way. Pretty nice.)
