I don't quite understand what you mean? What score card system? Maybe I am totally ignorant, but other than this thread coming up and you asking me how much my carbon offset was, I told no one else about the $8 we spent there. I don't see it as a matter of making myself look better or assuaging any guilt... as I said previously, I already have quite a low-impact lifestyle (especially in Iceland) and just plain thought it was a good idea to contribute. Once again, it's *optional*. Opt out if you want, no one is going to really care...
