My final action today was to donate to Carbonfund.org as a way of purchasing a carbon offset for a flight I'll be taking in December. I've been thinking about doing this and participating in the EcoChallenge gave me the nudge to actually do it. While carbon offsets are not a panacea, its better than doing nothing. I wish that all airlines offered a carbon offset fee that you could choose when purchasing your ticket.
