Dirt Home

Carbon credits are just another way for irresponsible people to continue to be irresponsible.  There are some good organizations using the sale of carbon credits or offsets to fund very worthwhile projects, but why give people an excuse to continue to waste energy by buying credits.  If you truly want to offset your lifestyle then make changes in the way you do things every day.  It is much more satisfying to replace the incandescent light bulbs in your home than it is to write a check to a carbon credit company. 

Dirthome.com is here as a voice of moderation.  Moderation of people’s wasteful lifestyles and moderation between eco-fascists and people who seem not to care at all about how their lifestyle may or may not impact the world we live in.  While we wholeheartedly believe that everyone should choose to make a difference by curbing their appetites for energy, we also realize that this country and world needs a viable economic growth solution.  Balancing economic growth and conservation is the goal here, not shutting down every source of pollution in the world. 

If you feel compelled to purchase carbon credits, please look for a company that is using the money for real world projects.  We have found one such company that we believe could make a real difference for a lot of people if you are so inclined please check out http://www.nativeenergy.com.
