Exec Jet?! I am calling dibs on tweeps' jets though none has taken me up on that offer. Financial hocus pocus indeed. This summer I attended a talk in London about the CDM (Clean Development Mechanism - Kyoto) and it was so confusing, I needed an enviro wonk with statistical wizardry to help. I am still looking for that wonk. i feel alittle better since the 747′s capacity is really good. Exec Jet?! I am calling dibs on tweeps’ jets though none has taken me up on that offer.

I'm all for tree planting, but I'd rather companies measure their accomplishement in real world terms - e.g how many trees planted by staff, how many acres of forest cultivated, protected, and nutured to maturity by country/continent. This 'carbon credit/footprint' is financial hocus pocus that billions don't understand Truly your carbon footprint is huge in ’08, at least it was earned in 747′s and the likes, not exec jets.
