Is the planet heating up?

Global Warming is a hotly debated topic.  Some believe that the planet is truly heating up and we are headed for a climate catastrophe.  They blame everything from raging wildfires, megadroughts and widespread flooding on temperature change.  Others say that the planet has always experienced fluctuations in temperature and we are just going through a cycle.  Either way, everyone agrees that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a good thing.

Let’s leave a better planet for our children.

Everywhere we go today, we hear about going green.  Motor vehicles are one of the largest sources of air pollution and contribute to unhealthy air.  Every time we drive a vehicle, fly in a plane, or use electricity at home we emit carbon dioxide into the air.  Every gallon of gasoline a car burns emits 20 pounds of carbon dioxide.

Carbon offsetting is the act of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.  To compensate for greenhouse gas emissions from personal travel, you can purchase offsets.  Common offset methods include tree planting, investments in renewable energy and support for conservation.

Pay4Rides could use a similar concept allow people who share rides to earn credits.
