Now just a year ago I wouldn't really consider myself a treehugger. I'm sure most of you folks on here don't consider yourself treehuggers either. However, after buying the Escape Hybrid I began to study my impact on the environment a little closer. For example, my Escape Hybrid outputs 7,004 lbs of CO2 per year.

What I've found that is in addition to driving a fuel efficient vehicle and making intelligent driving decisions...there is one more thing you can do. In fact, Ford actually just made it easier by slapping their name on a campaign/product for renewable energy certificates and carbon credit offsets.

From the Ford/Terra Pass website:
What does it mean to drive “carbon neutral?”
It means that for every mile you drive, you reduce one mile’s worth of carbon dioxide emissions elsewhere.

I thought it was pretty nifty now that Ford is teaming with this company so I thought I'd share with you folks.
