Swimming with the Dolphins and Offsetting Carbon Footprints

This past week, I had the good fortune of being able to visit Florida where I swam with dolphins, petted stingrays, stood within a few feet of alligators and witnessed the amazing relationship that can be developed between a human and a killer whale. Being in the presence of these animals brings up the emotions that magnify the importance of why we want to save the planet. Since big changes in how humans live their lives are very difficult to motivate, much less inspire, the idea of offsetting our impact on the environment as individuals offers hope and a concrete plan.
