Hey Alette - Check out offsetters.ca - non-profit and Canadian. There's also zerofootprint.net, but they focus way too much on tree planting. Karin

You should definitely continue too!

Imagine how amazing it would be if there were a whole community of on-line, green-living bloggers sharing their knowledge, their experiences, and above all their commitment with each other and with the world wide web. With all this blogging we might just begin tipping the balance towards sustainable living in Ottawa.

P.S. I’m adding your blog to my blog-roll and adding a link to your comment above.

It seems I too am a bit behind the times with respect to green blogging on-line! I’ll have to decide whether I continue since you do such a great job, and I am just starting out.

Keep up the great work!

There is a Canadian project out of Vancouver. The website is at “cooldrivepass.com”. I found it on a CBC “The National” video on the web. This I found by searching the CBC under “archive” and “carbon offsetting”. Cheers! Denice

Hi Alette,

Love your site! Thank you for providing so much detailed practical information. I recently heard a CBC radio discussion of carbon offsets in which they warned that tree-planting schemes (just one type of offset program) are not always a good idea, because with climate change happening they don’t know what kinds of forests will thrive in the future. I guess this just translates to mean that we need to do our research on organizations providing offsets, though that could be a challenge _ I for one don’t really know how to judge them. Sorry, I couldn’t find a link to this radio discussion online.
