I don't know. If people weren't around, most of our yards would still be
filled with trees, or at least vegetation, wouldn't they? So I can't
really see how we're offsetting anything. To have a positive carbon
footprint, that would require a net gain from us not existing at all,
wouldn't it? Not just better than other people with astroturf and
plastic flowers?
Maybe I'm looking at this wrong, and it's no big deal, anyway. It just
struck me as odd.
