[AG-USERS] carbon footprint and accessgrid

[Tom Coffin]

hey users

I was looking at some of the press releases on the ag site
regarding the 'green' benefits regarding the accessgrid and
then I was remembering an article I saw about the "house" buying
carbon offsets
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/01/27/AR2008012702400.html?wpisrc=newsletter

Anyways I was wondering if our accessgrid institutions could
actually make money through carbon offsets on the CCX
I see UCSD is a member
