An Australian company is selling carbon credits to make up for farting pets and people. (We agonized over that sentence, but it is what it is).
For just $27, Easy Being Green will sell you enough carbon credits to offset your dog’s annual anal methane production. Making your cat carbon neutral is a bargain at just $6.
And if you’re looking for a special anniversary or birthday gift, imagine how happy your loved one will be knowing that you spent US$16 to offset two years worth of their personal trouser trumpet production.
This is all well and good, but as highly-trained environmentalists and marketing geniuses, we think Easy Being Green is missing an obvious business opportunity.
Here’s our idea:
Wind power is intermittent, but dog farts are a constant. We propose erecting a mini-windmill in every Aussie home. Tie each windmill into the power grid. Train all Aussie dogs to fart into the windmills. The windmills spin. Power is generated free of charge. Oil imports are slashed. The economy booms. Australia becomes an ecological role model for the rest of the world.
And to think Al Gore got a Nobel Prize and we didn’t.

Howard Stern invented a superhero called "Fartman", the dude is a genius - he saw this all coming years ago!
There's no need to fear, Fartman is here!
I like your idea -- just keep the dogs away from the barbie --
My husband and I were talking about the entire environmental craze, last night. I suggested (try this on for size!) That is it just seriously a marketing ploy -
create a need
fill the need
make money.
-- Be a good person, by flatulence offsets. Darn. Its crazy out there, I want to go to another planet.. you know the one ... the old earth where things made sense.
Why not donate your money to starving children or curing disease. What a ridiculous notion. Manage pollution and do our best to keep the earth clean but stop with the nonsense already. Someone is getting rich on these ideas.
