terrapass carbon offset

Our upcoming tour has been "carbon-offset" through Terrapass. We actually offset 17,000 miles, so hopefully this off-set will take us through the end of the year.

Our van is projected to put 16,769 cubic pounds of CO^2 over these next 17,000 miles. Terrapass offsets this through wind-power and selective tree planting.

I still fear the world is coming to an end, despite these gestures. Well, perhaps not the world, but human existence/involvement in it. Our modern way of life is rapidly reaching an end. Time to evolve, I guess.

In the words of a tattered bumper sticker I once saw dangling off the dented bumper of a hippie van long since abandoned to a weedy sidelot in San Antonio, "Anything is better than nothing."

We will do our small part and hope for the best.
============================================
Speaking of tour, check the myspace... we may be hitting your town soon. May brings this show to the road, with a new line-up and nice surprises. Cassettes for sale, albums, etc.
