Flying, pollution, and clicking to save the environment
Keeping with the pollution theme, here's an article on the debate between the British airline industry and environmentalists. The question is how much damage does the pollution from airplanes really cause?
Personally, I tend to side with the environmentalists - I believe that airplanes do cause lots of pollution. Since I'm not about to stop flying, I feel some responsibility to conserve in other ways. I also go the rain forest site every day and click "Preserve endangered land". Then it's off to Ecology Fund for a few more clicks. Red Jellyfish and Care2 also have click to donate sections. One day, I'll start my own click to donate business (all the sites I link to above, with the possible exception of Care 2, are in business for themselves - they probably each make a fortune).

You can also visit one of those sites like Terrapass, Certified Clean Car, PV USA Solar or Green-e and offset some of the emissions caused by your travel.
