They are new clean energy projects. No Trees. We also publish a product content label with each TerraPass so you know exactly where your money is going. Take a quick look there and ask more questions or give us a call, we're happy to chat. 3) We don't disclose this, but its pretty standard retail margins. We think its more important to deliver a verified reduction at a quality price. We're about $9 per metric ton. Shop around, you'll find prices between $5 and $40 a ton, with non-profits at both ends of the spectrum. Thanks for your interest and pushing hard on the questions. Tom Hi Preston

Conserve first, offset second. 2.) What do you do with the money that you receive? Where does it go? New projects? Old projects? Trees? Wind? Solar? Just be clear about it. 3.) If you run for profit, what percentage of my $15 goes to paying for your organization? How does that compare to other companies, profit and not-for-profit? Just be clear about it. Let's get around the fact that people enjoy the newsletter and are learning how to lessen their footprint. That's a great service, but it's unrelated to the offset. A free blog/newsletter can teach people how to lessen the carbon footprint. What's the offset going towards. Let's get this all very clear and lucid so people can buy offsets and get a true benefit from the offset. Some concerns that need to be addressed:
