"My Blog is Carbon Neutral"

For all you bloggers out there who care about your carbon footprint, I was sent an email about a wonderful program based out of Germany that plants trees in Northern California where fires destroyed thousands.  The trees are planted through the Arbor Foundation to offset the (gulp) carbon dioxide emissions our blogs create.  In order to have trees planted to offset your carbon emission, go to their web site and follow their 3 easy steps:

Just a few easy steps to make it green:

1. Write a blog post about the initiative + insert your favourite button
2. E-mail the link to your post to CO2-neutral@kaufda.de
3. We plant a tree for your blog in Plumas’!

What a great program!  And SO easy to do...I encourage everyone to take a moment and do so.

Thank you,

Mommy Bridget

This is a good article with regards to natural disasters causing weather patterns to change. Back in the 1700's this volcano erupted, causing problems worldwide. North America experienced one of it's coldest winters on record. It will be interesting to see what will happen next with these seismic areas.
