There are companies sprouting up all over the place offering ways for you to offset the damage you are doing to the environment through emissions and other pollution.  You can pay money and a company may use it to plant trees or build energy efficient devices in other countries.  May be that makes sense.

Our view on this is if you feel bad about adding to the pollution of the environment do something about it.  Don't just pay someone to plant a tree.  Besides you could plant your own tree.  Money does not grow on trees and the environment is not a simple math equation.  You can't take from Peter to pay Paul.

What can I do?  How about use that guilt money to buy more efficient appliances, use that guilt money to invest in solar, use that guilt money to buy a reel mower etc.

How often have you tossed a piece of debris in the toilet or caught a bug with toilet paper and thrown it into the toilet.  What do you do then Flush.....

There are two things wrong with that Flush.  First of all, look at all that water you just flushed down the toilet.  This is not only a waste of money, but it is a waste of the energy and resources it will take to process the water you just flushed for a couple pieces of paper you could have tossed into the garbage.

So use the toilet for what it is meant for.  It is not meant as a garbage disposal.  Using it like a garbage disposal wastes water and also wastes the energy it takes to clean the water before it goes back into a river.
