I did do alot of research on them beforehand, both for my personal knowledge and for a possible relationship with where I work. Carbonfund itself does a great job of balancing all types of eco-friendly activities from planting trees to investing in ecology oriented companies. Based on the last IRS report for their non-profit status, 93% of their income went to support these programs, only 7% went to overhead which is better than most other large, popular charities.

We did this a few months ago, but Jeremiah's comment makes me second-guess the decision. I guess I have some research to do... Nice work!

Glad to hear. I shy away from organizations like Carbonfund because there is little accountability, as the US does not mandate carbon trading. You might consider investing in new eco-friendly companies instead of donating to these type of organizations. You'd get a return on your investment and help build a sustainable future in a more direct way. Rockin! Glad to hear.

We all should do what we can to reduce our energy use and our carbon footprint, but no matter how much you do, you can't get down to zero. Unless you offset. I applaud your commitment.
