        <description><![CDATA[@MagnetBoy - I would not say such things if I were you! We are actually a non-profit research group at UC Berkeley consisting of people who actually believe in living and encouraging low-carbon lifestyles. And we prefer to be called carbon fairies if you really must use nicknames (although to be honest, I don't think we're quite on that level with each other yet). @HatesIdiots - We probably would say you can count the trees as a carbon offset for about 1 metric ton of CO2 per year (2205 lbs), but only for the ones you plant yourself. However, any water and irrigation used on your property would increase your carbon footprint slightly due to the energy required to filter &amp; pump water for residential use. We still haven't added that one into our list of action on our carbon footprint calculator (coolclimate.berkeley.edu/carboncalculator) but the other actions there might give you a good frame of reference. If you're still curious about our research feel free to e-mail me at miayamauchi@berkeley.edu.

        <description><![CDATA[If you cannot measure it, then you cannot improve upon it.  Good to see more and more of these applications coming out, improving on existing applications and continually increasing the amount of information that concerned folks can have access to.  To all of the folks choose not to be pursuaded by facts and common sense....it is okay, there are many concerned &amp; intelligent people that are working hard to ensure future generations have access to resources and a sustainable way of life.  Thanks for reporting on this, good article.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Supply side economics is gutting the middle class in this country.  Trickle down economics produces a nation of pee-on's.  Free trade is changing us from a country that makes things to a country that manipulates money, that glorifies wealth instead of knowledge and labor.  We glorify the individual to the detriment of the commons.  Instead of looking forward and proactively trying to solve problems we try to live in the past.  While it will take some time to wind down I think the US's day may be over.]]></description>
