Cyclists are hip again. And I’m not talking about the guy with the full Lance Armstrong costume and the three-grand, carbon-fiber wonderbike that spends more time strapped to the roof of his Lexus than it does on actual pavement.

There seems to be a little confusion about the difference between carbon credits, trades and offsets. While each shares a few similarities with the other, these three buzzwords are really quite different.

The 1997 Kyoto Protocol introduced these three concepts to us but, oddly enough, ten years later we still have very litt

Plenty of people talk about tracking your carbon footprint and we're always admonished to be aware of your carbon emissions but it's not that easy to do.

Rain forests covered over 14% of the Earth a mere 200 years ago. Today the number is closer to 6%. Some people believe that the remaining acreage will be destroyed by 2050, while other believe it will be much sooner. However, regardless of these pessimistic time-lines to destruction, we should be asking a very serious question:

Biofuels have been hailed as the greatest solution to our carbon problem since London burned to the ground. However, this source of energy comes at a great cost and, quite frankly, it's just not worth it. Rather than invest in deforestation projects to make room for all the fields of useless crops, perhaps we should start fe
