I am attending the Land Trust Alliance's Rally - a conference for about 2000 people working for land conservation organizations across the United States. For the first time, the conference is "carbon neutral," meaning that they bought carbon credits through a group called Native Energy.

I mentioned this at the workshop I was at today, and while a couple of people were generally aware of the idea, I was the only person (of fifteen in the room) who had actually read the info the LTA had about their decision, or followed up to find out about Native Energy.

It was at that moment that I realized how freakishly obsessed I am with this whole topic. Here I am with a group of people who in the grand scheme of things are more like me than probably 95% of people on the planet, and I'm still the only one who was curious enough about the reference to Rally being "carbon neutral" to explore the subject a little further.

I mean, come on, I kept correcting people today when they would say "climate change" - I would tell them that was the compromise term and that the correct term is global warming.

Sigh. It isn't easy being me...
