Hello reader.... I need some advice. I made a commitment to making PEPY a carbon-free organization, ideally maximizing our use of bicycles and public transportation, and committing to offsetting the remainder of the carbon emitted by our trips in Cambodia. But, the question now, is HOW best to do that? We have donated through carbonfund.org, which is a good tool, but I am looking for something better. What is the BEST way for PEPY to offset carbon (besides reducing our emissions in the first place which needs to be a priority)? I wanted to find a replanting organization here in Cambodia, as I would like to replant in the same area we are harming, but I have not been able to find a group doing so (some who want to, some who did, but none so far who are). Rather than donate to a big "offsetting" organization, I would rather fund a small local NGO working in environmental protection and replanting. Who do YOU suggest? It can be anywhere in the world - I just want it to be some group that is DOING something with the money which will directly lead to carbon offsetting.

Email me or write a comment if you have any ideas! Thanks for your advice!

Oh, and Happy Khmer New Year!
