Kudos for the new section.Can we get some reporting and commentary on national energy policy, business practices, current and emerging technologies and international developments?

Just like buying sin credits. I can sin all I want, I will just buy credits. Then I can feel good about my sin. Oh, you say the churches already offer this?

Yep. There are churches that will "indulge" you.

"Green Globetrotting" is an oxymoron, unless you're talking about using a hot-air balloon. Sort of like "eco-tourism". Maybe in 20 years we can actually have something like this that actually helps the environment. Until then this is green-washing at its worst.

On second thought, hot-air balloons are bad as well- make that sailboats.

Hot air balloons really scare the animals

I'm sorry... flying how many thousand miles to Fiji to loll in a fancy deep green resort is cool?

Flying that is... as in jet planes. Across the Pacific and the South Pacific - for an eco-vacation.

Helloo... Is there a problem with this picture?

Mebbe it's me.

It's possible that flying to Fiji could be green, especially if you bring some of that great water home with you LOL!

What silliness.
