Who is buying carbon offsets?
How are you fighting global warming pollution?
The Sun is trying to find people who have purchased "carbon offsets." These are donations that people can make to reduce carbon dioxide by planting trees or paying for wind farms or other alternative energy projects. The projects are meant to compensate for carbon dioxide that people produce through airplane flights, car travel and daily life.
If you have bought a carbon offset from Carbonfund.org or any other organization, please call reporter Tom Pelton at 410-332-6140.
I report on the environment and Chesapeake Bay. A native of West Virginia, I have focused mainly on Maryland's environment since moving here in 1983. Along the way, I've crewed aboard a skipjack in the bay, canoed under city streets up the Jones Fall from the Inner Harbor, and gone deep underground in a western Maryland coal mine. Recently, I have been covering the growth and development transforming the landscape. I love seafood, rambles in the country and good stories. I hope to share some here.
