My blog is carbon neutral

The HCG Diet 411 Blog is now "Carbon Neutral". The other day I received an email from this group in Germany called "Make It Green". It was about the amount of carbon emissions that one blog can create.

I was unaware that a blog could even cause emissions, so I was naturally curious when I received the email. Instead of trying to explain it to you, I thought that I would just share it.


The Email From The "Make It Green" Group

Hi,

just stumbled over your blog www.hcg411.info - nice work!

I am part of a young team in Germany, working for an initiative called "Make it green!". Our goal is to contribute our part in reducing the carbon footprint by raising awareness of the severe environmental damage caused by carbon emissions. One of our activities is to raise awareness of the carbon emissions resulting from the use of the internet - specifically of blogs. A blog with 15,000 visits a month has a yearly carbon dioxide emissions of 8lb. To neutralize these emissions we have created "My blog is carbon neutral" buttons so bloggers can demonstrate that they care about the environment and the carbon footprint of their blogs. We present them a small but nontheless worthy solution to contribute to environmental issues. Our idea is to show possibilities to make a contribution to protect the environment.
To find out how you can participate please visit http://www.kaufda.de/umwelt/carbon-neutral/how-you-can-join
And how do we actually neutralize your blog's carbon footprint? We are planting trees in cooperation with the Arbor Day Foundation in Plumas National Forest in Northern California for our project to neutralize the carbon footprint of blogs. Thousands of wildfires burned down many national forests over the past ten years and 88.000 acres of Plumas' were destroyed by two fires in 2007. To help replanting we need the support of bloggers all over the world! For every participating blog we plant a tree. One blog - one tree.
Why do we do this? We are a German based company called kaufDA, which provides advertisement brochures of local stores online to help consumers search for specific products and find good deals in their neighborhood. This reduces the amount of brochures printed and so the project helps the environment by reducing unnecessary paper in mailboxes. An American on average receives 41 pounds of junk mail per year. This has the same carbon footprint as burning six gallons of gasoline.

We'd be glad to plant your tree! Help us and show that you care! Every tree counts!


Best wishes from Germany,
"Make it green!"- Team

As you can see that is some pretty compelling information. So I am now making my blog "Carbon Neutral". That is just one more great thing about this blog now, right?

Tell Us Your HCG Diet Story

Would you like to write an article for the HCG Diet 411 Blog? These days, there are people all over the world that are using the HCG Diet. Whether it's good or bad, each one of these people have a story to tell about their experience. Are you one of these people? If so, I would love to hear what it is you have to say; and I'm sure my blog readers would too. Not a professional blogger? - Don't worry, you don't have to be. If you can write a letter, you can write a blog post. See, I really want to get HCG Diet users talking about how they've done with the diet so far - Because even though a doctor can tell you how the diet works and what to expect from it, only a handful of them have actually done it. Which means they can't tell you on a personal level what you will experience. Now don't get me wrong, most doctors are very knowledgeable about the HCG Diet and they usually have valuable information to share with their patients. I just th...

We talked about... "Where To Buy Grissini Breadsticks" Basically I was trying to find out if anyone knew where to find them. Well as luck would have it, just a few short hours later I had my answer - It came from a reader named Chris. This is what Chris had to say... The Grissini Breadsticks can be found at Safeway back in the Bakery area, usually by the fresh baked bread area. Melba toast Should be by the breadcrumbs and even in the baby food isle as they use this for teething . I mentioned yesterday that I had read about someone buying them at Safeway, but I guess now it's confirmed. The funny thing is, Chris wasn't even respo...

HCG Diet Dangers

HCG Diet Dangers - Are there any? And if so, what are they? So what are the dangers associate with the HCG Diet? If you were to Google the term " HCG Diet Dangers ", you would get a bunch of sites trying to sell you something related to the HCG Diet. A lot of the websites that you will run into trying to find the answer to this question, are nothing more than marketers using fear tactics to get you to buy their product. So try not to get pulled in by this sort of thing. The truth is there are some HCG Diet Dangers, but they're probably not as bad as you think. In fact, some of them are human errors that make this method of weight loss the most dangerous. I'm talking about things like getting an infection from not cleaning your syringe. While getting an infection from a syringe is a danger that is associated with the HCG Diet, it is a mistake that a human makes that causes it. Therefore, the danger can be eliminated if you can only remember to use alcohol pads...
