Our Blog is Carbon Neutral

We are proud to say that we have joined our blog to the Carbon Neutral initiative, which aims to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They plant a tree for your blog and thereby neutralise your blog’s carbon footprint for the next 50 years! Everyone can make a small contribution to the environment. Every tree counts!

The following was taken from the Mach's grün website to give you some back-ground:

The trees are planted in Plumas National Forest in Northern California by “Arbor Day Foundation” their partner in US for the “My blog is carbon neutral” initiative. The “Arbor Day Foundation” is a non-profit conservation and education organization with the goal helping reforest 5,500 acres of Plumas National Forest with 792,000 trees.

A series of lightning strikes triggered the Antelope Complex Fire on July 5, 2007, which burned nearly 23,000 acres of Plumas’ timber in less than a week. The Moonlight Fire struck just two months later, destroying 65,000 forest acres and requiring more than three weeks to contain.

On September 5, 2007 the Moonlight Fire was advanced by northerly winds through the Plumas National Forest in Northern California. According to reports from the National Forest Service, the fire had grown to 28,000 acres since its start on September 3. This image from the NASA’s Aqua satellite shows the fire spreading smoke over the Sacramento Valley on September 5.
