Look for BinaryWolf at blogs that joined on the 23rd of August for the upcoming BlogActionDay.

On October 15th – , bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind.

In its inaugural year, Blog Action Day will be co-ordinating bloggers to tackle the issue of the environment.

Bloggers can participate on Blog Action Day by publishing a post on their blog which relates to an issue of their own choice pertaining to the environment. Posts do not need to have any specific agenda, they simply need to relate to the larger issue in whatever way suits the blogger and readership. Our aim is not to promote one particular viewpoint, only to push the issue to the table for discussion.

Regular readers of this blog know that I have a treehugger category. New readers may also want to look at my vehicles category which at first glance may not seem environmentally friendly, but you generally have to read the entire post to see where I am going with it.

You can improve your by driving more efficiently, keeping your car in shape and planning and combining trips. Those choices will reduce (the use of gas) what you can.

You can help save the world by offsetting what you can’t.

According to the Carbon Fund, the average car emits twice its weight in CO2 each year.

Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are causing the Earth’s climate to change and warm, which will have catastrophic results if we do not act to reduce them. Carbon dioxide emissions are about 40% higher than they were before the Industrial Revolution and at their highest levels in recorded history, covering over 650,000 years. The effects of climate change can be seen now. Temperatures are already increasing, glaciers are receding at unprecedented speeds, whole chunks of the Antarctic ice shelf are breaking off, warmer seasons are becoming longer, and storms are becoming more severe and causing more and more damage.

Offsetting your carbon footprint allows you to become part of the solution to climate change by supporting the reduction of equal to your carbon emissions.

Use the handy calculator to determine exactly how much CO2 you’re responsible for.

Then there are high gas prices, car payments, insurance, depreciation, parking, repairs, maintenance, and nearly one hundred other expenses add up so quickly and silently that most car owners don’t even notice—they just see how little money they have left at the end of the month and wonder why. That’s according to Chris Balish, author of How to Live Well Without Owning a Car.

Save on Gas – Save the World!
