Staunch cravings and offset carbon in one bite

I love it when candy companies team up with environmental companies. So when I'm craving chocolate (like, every 2.5 seconds), I can totally gorge myself on the stuff and tell people I'm saving the environment. And I won't be lying.

So thank you, Bloomsberry & Co. candy company, for making friends with TerraPass carbon offset org., so that I will no longer feel guilty about wolfing down gobs of chocolate. Each bar's wrapper offers 15 tips on reducing your carbon footprint, and when you buy it, TerraPass will offset 133 pounds of verified carbon (about the amount that an average American emits on a daily basis).

The funds from the carbon being offset will go toward projects that help produce energy from alternative sources, like wind and methane.

My only concern about this product was the carbon associated with producing and distributing it, but TerraPass claims that that issue has already been taken care of (hmm - I'd be interested to know how that was worked out).

Now...anybody got five bucks I can borrow?
