Followed the link to the residential wind turbines, but could not find the selling price. What is the ROI of such a unit?
I liked the idea of text messages but maybe it is not as good for the consumer as it looks. A new report on the carbon offset retail market shows that retail offset providers face several challenges in supplying credible, cost effective offsets to the market. After finding a price of £1.5 ton/CO2 per carbon credits in US, I was surprised to see prices in different carbon offset websites from different countries ranging from £2.50 up to £12.40 with an average of £5.10 tonne/CO2. In the Brisith case price ranges from £7.40 to £9.00 tonne/CO2 which I see ludicrous because this could mean that we pay more without making a real benefit to the environment. This make me wonder if the price this offfset providers charge is really the cost of the project or the money is being taken by intermediaries. I think this market needs more transparency so we as consumers can evaluate the offset quality, where the money goes, how the project are selected and benefits they provide to the environment and communities. It will be sad to see that our hopes to mitigate Global Warming by offseting our emissions are not helping as they should. CarbonSMS.com recently posted some questions that we should ask offset providers when buying carbon credits as reference. In addition to carbon offsetting we need to take other measures that could have more impact.
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. And i am clueless that what can i say about it yet, i think it is very informative for increasing the knowledge. Great....keep it up!!!!!!!!!!
