john wesley and carbon offsets

hey it's sunday morning, there's a major winter storm blasting away outside so i'll have to bundle up, get out the shovel and start the first of what i think will be a few digs today. a few days back i came across this tidied up version of a john wesley quote. it carries some presence through its theological association with my grandfather who was an english methodist minister.

“Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.”

--- John Wesley (1703-1791)

carbon offsets are a great way to say thanks to someone for giving you a ride every day. i just thanked my buddy dave who drives me to school every day when it's too unsafe to bike. the process is simple and relatively cheap - for example - dave drives a 2000 ford taurus wagon. he needs it to transport his family and their equipment ..... skiing hockey or whatever. for twenty dollars i bought carbon offsets for his car for a year based on what i know of his driving habits and the specific model of car he has. i asked that this money go into reforestation.
here's the site that i chose to handle this for me: carbon fund .

here's where i live as seen from space.
