My first reaction was facetious, of course... kind-of like a remark I made to my SL neighbor (yes, I have land now) whose home has a chimney with a smoke effect. She is an anthro Clydesdale, and I teased her about her carbon hoofprint.

I can also show you at least one place to buy windmills and solar panels to give your SL land a higher-tech "green" cachet.

On the other paw: I can see the point about the electricity required to generate all those ones and zeros that make SL possible. It'd be interesting to learn from whom Linden Labs purchases power, and what portion of it comes from renewable sources.

Now, can someone please explain the "offset" concept to me? (I had the same trouble with the analogous "nitrogen economy" in KS Robinson's Mars trilogy, too).
