05/23/07 Shame on me! I'm not Carbon Neutral !

Al Gores scrambling to make sure he is covered. Hillary says she is, the Dave Mathews band count themselves players, along with celebrities like Orlando Bloom, and Brad Pitt. What about you? What are you doing to become a carbon neutral citizen of planet earth? Me, I lose sleep over my enormous carbon consumption. Think about the guilt I experience rolling into a gas station pulling a four horse goose neck with a big old diesel rig. I sink lower behind my tinted windows but invariably some tiny square car that gets over 40 mpg pulls up and that is when I desperately wish I had purchased a Terra Pass. You know, that that pretty "green" sticker slapped front and center on the rear window or bumper to show all the world that "I too" paid $29.95 to have someone somewhere plant a tree to offset the thousands of carbon I purportedly produce. Come to think of it maybe I can donate some horse manure for the trees because it is going to take a heck of a lot more guilt before I am caught dead with a Terra Pass posted next to the hunting and rodeo decals .
