Power Line Blog featured an “ecodriving” contest in a cube ad for a week or so. The Power Line readers scored very well in the contest, and Power Line received 13,000 pounds of carbon offsets, courtesy of TerraPass! See the article to decipher exactly what that means, but here is John at Power Line’s interpretation:

2. Terrapass invests in technology companies.
3. Terrapass sends you bumper sticker.
4. Terrapass enjoys dividends and capital gains on your investment.
5. Terrapass uses these to fund the printing of more bumper stickers.
6. Which are purchased by even greater saps that yourself.
