Finally - Someone sees through Carbon offsetting

A year or so ago I posted  saying that I would no longer recycle because the government really wasn't serious about Climate change and the need to recycle after the introduction of the stupid Carbon Offsetting program.

Now I see, at last, the Carbon Trust is no longer accepting carbon offsetting as an ethical way to operate. Corporate's will have to demonstrate real reductions in their own footprints to benefit from the scheme and be issued with the Carbon Trusts "seal of approval".

Now all we need is for the government to wake up and heavily subsidise renewable sources like Solar and I will start to take them a little more seriously.
