Flying Makes Me Feel Bad

Mark Anderson takes sides on the latest “cause célèbre of the eco-set” today in the Ottawa Citizen. Although a “thriving mini-industry has sprung up offering carbon 'offsets,' a way to assuage guilt over corporate travel, without actually limiting flights” some (i.e. Suzuki Foundation) are concerned that purchasing carbon offsets won’t encourage companies to actually reduce air travel. As for Anderson? “I'm not willing to give up my upcoming Alberta fishing trip in the interest of environmentalism.” Fascinating. photo from www.nataliedee.com
