With all my work for Sir Crispin Tickell, who was writing about climate change long before it became the topic it is today, and seeing as my supervisor is a lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), I thought it was nifty that my webhost decided recently to go carbon neutral by buying carbon credits from Green-e. 

While emissions trading may not be the best way to reduce ones emissions (they don't really reduce emissions at all, just help companies that produce renewable energy do so more cheaply), its a step towards less reliance on fossil fuels.
