Example:
The average quantity of
carbon footprint globally is roughly
around 4 tons, whereas the average in the United States is 16 tons which is 4 times the global average. The United States contributes to the 2nd most carbon footprint emissions globally following China which releases the most.
carbon footprint offset
by Mondo Fuego on Mar 02, 2007 05:37:41
A
boondoggle involving polluting one geographical location with excessive use of carbon-based fuel while paying to promote clean energy in another geographical location, and claiming one
offsets the other, thus
yielding neutral pollution.
Example:
Al Gore rationalizes his
profligate use of $30,000/year in electricity and
natural gas at his home in Nashville by partially funding clean energy production in other areas, terming this a "carbon footprint offset". It is
tantamount to dumping garbage on the streets of Nashville and "offsetting" it by paying for street cleanup in Seattle.

Example:
"You know every time you drive your SUV Gaia dies a little more."
" You need to pull that Carbon Footprint Corncob out of your ass. Why don't you
take a cruise and relax?"
"Do you know how much carbon a cruise ship puts into our
sky's?"
"
I rest my case."
