Dopplr should have a carbon rating for all of my travels
I know it's not the most pleasant feature for users (showing them their contribution to destruction of our planet.) I think it would go a long way in raising self awareness.

Inappropriate?Yeah! And maybe an option to do something like cabon offsetting calculated on a per-trip (or per year?) basis.

Inappropriate?Here's a neato Carbon calculator that projects the carbon produced not just by you, but by your whole network:

I’m wondering what to do with this frightful information

Inappropriate?I saw this before, seems to have been put on the back burner. I really love this concept. You could do some really cool stuff with creating goals to lower total carbon in your network.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?hey, I wrote that little thing. Sorry about that post, then the delay in putting the actual thing up. the "offsetr" is available - http://www.nodesnoop.com/offsetr
I’m excited

Inappropriate?ah, and it will also keep track of your personal carbon levels in addition to your network's.

Inappropriate?I think it's pretty cool that American Institute of Graphic Arts has taken an active role in educating and providing tools about carbon offset for its membership. AIGA offset its entire national convention last week, including the travel of attendees and staff. It has also kicked off a new program that educates designers on carbon offsets for their studios.

I’m happy

Inappropriate?Great idea! Sounds like a feature that could make Dopplr a "green software" product to me!
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Seeing how much you're burning up the planet won't help. Just cut your flying. It's quite a simple concept, not needing any design, development or coding time
-
Inappropriate?One thing though, not all trips are taken by plane. For instance I travel a lot on the train (which on the whole is a little bit greener). Good idea though.
