I discovered, quite by accident (through cute blog Jojoebi), this great initiative from German environmentalist group, Kaufda. Their aim is to do their part in reducing the carbon footprint by raising awareness of the carbon emissions, resulting from the use of the internet - specifically of blogs. A blog with 15,000 visits a month has a yearly carbon dioxide emissions of 8lb. To neutralise these emissions they have created "My blog is carbon neutral" buttons so bloggers can demonstrate that they care about the environment and the carbon footprint of their blogs.
To help neutralize your blog's carbon footprint they are planting trees in cooperation with the Arbor Day Foundation in Plumas National Forest in Northern California. Thousands of wildfires burned down many national forests over the past ten years and 88.000 acres of Plumas' were destroyed by two fires in 2007. To help replanting they are looking for the support of bloggers all over the world! For every participating blog they plant a tree. One blog - one tree.Yippee!
If you would like them to plant a tree for your blog too click on my green button on the right column, or just click here
