Passing Out

TerraPass

Your hectic life has you red-eyeing from D.C. to L.A. with your laptop, idling in your car while phoning into meetings, your lights and computer on all day.

Bottom line: You’re a busy bee. So you’ll hardly even notice when we add “stop global warming” to your to-do list.

But now it’s easy, with a little aid from TerraPass, a company that helps you counterbalance the carbon dioxide emissions you create while driving, flying, and being little old fabulous you.

Log onto the site and enter usage info for your car (year, make, model, and annual mileage), air travel (origin and destination), or home energy bill. TerraPass then calculates your CO2 footprint and enables you to donate an amount to alternative energy sources that offsets the damage you’re doing. (Who knew that MacBook was such a greedy gobbler?) 

Plus, TerraPass sends stickers (for your car, your luggage) to help you spread the word.

You just don’t stop, do you?
