Brighter Planet

I am so happy that I signed up for this program. But at the rate I am earning my points I will never be able to offset my carbon footprints...*sob sob* but but but 350 is better than nothing and I will continue to learn how to earn, it's a start at least.

What is this points about, let me explain :

Bank of America has teamed up with Brighter Planet to offer carbon offsets to WorldPoints™ customers. When you redeem your WorldPoints for offsets you help build new renewable energy projects across the USA. It’s an investment in our future.

For 2,500 points you can offset an estimated 2.5 tons of CO2—roughly equal to turning off 1,500 light bulbs for a day or offsetting the amount each passenger is responsible for on a cross-country airline flight.

For 5,000 points you can offset an estimated 5 tons of CO2—roughly equivalent to taking an average car off the road for a full year or turning down the thermostats in twenty houses two degrees for a winter

For 10,000 points you can offset an estimated 10 tons of CO2—roughly equivalent to offsetting the emissions caused by the electricity used in a house in an entire year, or sending 3,000 fewer bags of garbage to the landfill

WOW, imagine this!
