I usually don’t post on the weekends, but I’m excited to share that Shades of Sarah is now carbon neutral! I first heard about the Machs Grün (“Make it Green”) initiative from my friend Gracey’s post. I think it’s a great idea.  Every time you visit a website, 0.2g (0.0008 oz.) of carbon dioxide are produced. According to the website, that adds up to 8 lb. of carbon dioxide a year! The program “My blog is green” plants one tree, which absorbs 11 lb. of carbon dioxide, per blog to offset these emissions.

The trees are planted in Northern California’s Plumas National Forest. If you’re a blogger too, find out how you can join!
