Here is a site that lets you offset your carbon footprint, or in other words, do something about global warming:

With politicians on the take as during the gilded age it seems folly to rely on them to be of benefit to humanity. They help themselves now even when their children pay the price.
In his song "Masters of War" Bob Dylan asked the question, "Is your money that good?"
Money is as relevant as your next meal, but beyond a certain point its' accrual seems more about power than purchase.
We'll have the last laugh (as we did with men like Robert S. McNamara), but its an unsatisfying laugh. Their salvation comes at our expense and much too late. In Mr. McNamara's case, by the time he put one foot in the grave and looked up to be horrified by the fact that power and money don't matter, he had to be equally horrified that nobody would listen to his advice (and here I'm specifically thinking of Donald Rumsfailed). It is as if the older, wiser, Mr. McNamara met the younger, more arrogant, Mr. McNamara.
I wonder if he liked what he saw when he looked in the mirror?
I wonder if his money was that good.
