Got an SUV? Or a normal car that you feel bad about driving because of it its emissions? I just discovered a company with an amazing concept...

An average SUV generates 20,000 pounds of carbon dioxide over the course of a year. For $79, Terrapass <terrapass.com> will eliminate an equivalent amount of emissions, and send you a decal you can place on your car verifying that fact. It achieves this by funding alternative fuel projects and by purchasing and retiring emissions credits on the Chicago Climate Exchange <www.chicagoclimatex.com>. If you drive a conventional car instead of an SUV, the cost for a pass is even cheaper.

Terrapass's offer flies in the face of conventional "wisdom" that preventing global warming is prohibitively difficult and expensive. If someone really needs an SUV - or any other car, for that matter - they can still show their good will and concern for others by buying a terrapass.

Bravo, Terrapass - a fun solution to a very complex problem.
