From TreeHugger.com

A progressive-minded blog called DeepMarket.com is teaming up with CarbonFund.org to offset one ton of carbon emissions for every blog that links to it. (h/t: Tree Hugger)

Hey, blogosphere: Link up! It doesn’t cost you anything.

Tree Hugger:

Nearly every post we publish about carbon offsetting services generates healthy discussion on the merits and disadvantages of buying offsets to neutralize the carbon emissions of a range of activities. While we don’t know if this story will produce similar discussion, it’s certainly one of the most unique promotional efforts we’ve seen involving offsets: DeepMarket.com, “a blog that researches new techniques for stock market analysis,” is teaming up with CarbonFund.org to offset 1 ton of carbon emissions for every blog that links to it.
