How many tons of CO2 does your car emit every year? Six thousand pounds? Twenty thousand? The average car emits about 10,000 pounds, or three times its weight, annually. That gunk goes into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. So, an organization called TerraPass has come up with an intriguing offset for concerned drivers. But a Road TerraPass and you essentially eliminate your carbon footprint. They invest your annual contribution in clean energy projects like wind farms and biomass. You get a cool window decal and bumper sticker, and the knowledge that you're helping the environment. www.terrapass.com
