This year’s coolest gift: zero carbon
Dear Friend of Working Assets,

Wondering what to give your friends for the holidays? How about a
lump of coal?

Seriously.

Donate to Carbonfund and you can offset a friend's carbon emissions
for a whole year. For a tax-deductible donation of just $55 you'll
neutralize all your friend's global-warming gases
-- that includes CO2
emitted by driving, flying, and heating or cooling a home. Just go to:
https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?aid=6401

Your contribution will go directly to certified C02-reducing projects
supported by Carbonfund: reforestation, renewable energy and energy
efficiency campaigns. The need is real and the time is now. A recent
report from the British government warns that, if we don't slow
climate change immediately, the earth faces disaster within our
lifetime. This holiday season, warm a heart and cool the globe. Give
the gift of zero carbon. Go to:
https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?aid=6401

Sincerely,

Laura Scher
CEO

P.S. When you contribute $99 or more, Working Assets will offset an
additional 5 tons of CO2, which is the equivalent of taking a
mid-sized car off the road for a year. It's like a gift within a gift.
And it's free! Just go to:
https://secure.groundspring.org/dn/index.php?aid=6401

1. Awesome -- my fundie, global-warming-denying brother is getting one!
Along with a copy of "An Inconvenient Truth"

2. One of the gifts I've been considering this year was green cards.
The donation accomplishes the carbon offset; the trick is to decide which of my friends and family will appreciate the gesture most...

Thanks for the links.

:hi:
