Has the world gone mad?
Look, I’m all for not polluting the environment, reducing emissions, yada-yada-yada, but one thing that really frosts me (excuse the pun and reference to the coming ice age) is this outright fraud called ‘Carbon Offsets’ being perpetuated by the likes of Al Gore and the rest of the global warming alarmists.
This latest piece shows how event planning is now going to cost even more due to this carbon offset scam:
Global Executive Partners With BeGreen Carbon Offsets To ‘Green-Up’ Events
From the Press Release:
“BeGreen Carbon Offsets (carbon footprint through the purchase of renewable energy, forest sequestration and other project-based offsets. BeGreen’s carbon calculators follow the EPA Climate Leaders methodology, which is based on the World Resources Institute’s Greenhouse Gas Protocol (WRI GHG), a widely accepted industry standard. All purchases and sales of BeGreen’s carbon offset projects are also verified by an independent auditing firm to ensure their quality and effectiveness.”

Events are expensive enough - do we really need to feel good about how we get to the event and buy into this nonsense, too?
