LifeHacker posted about two new online tools that are designed to help the population become more aware of their environmental footprint and ways in which to reduce it.

One is Zerofootprint, which I think is another carbon offset company, but I haven’t checked them out yet. The other is Yahoo! Green, which I did get a chance to play around in this morning. So far I’ve twiddled around My Green Plan, which lets you make pledges on ways to reduce your CO2. While I can’t quite pledge to buy a hybrid car this year (though one out of two cars in our household is already a hybrid), there’s other things I haven’t tried and am most certainly willing to, like drying my clothes outside in the summer months. (Note to self: ask the spouse on how to put up non-intrusive and non-fugly clothes lines in the back yard.)
