Dopplr is a site where you add your travel-related information and it tells you of others in your network who are making similar journeys so you can meetup. Via Ian Forrester’s blog this morning I saw that Dopplr are making your travel-related carbon footprint information available.
I failed to find the functionality in my Dopplr account yet as it is still in testing but according to the blog post, it will be launching soon.
This is a fabulous addition to the site. It is only by giving people access to this kind of information that they can make informed decisions about their environmental impact.
In a related note, I noticed the other day that BA now include information on the carbon footprint of your journey and offer you the chance to pay for it - an excellent idea, kudos to BA.

A good and concrete action to make us feel about our daily choices. It’s time to mesure and pay the price for our industrial past century. Progress has a price, and we all must mesure in accurate way, the rate. For our children, and not to let them live in trashland tomorrow.
I will follow and subscribe all sustainable development and energy savings program. I wrote something about that on my blog called “ecology, last fashion stuff” (which is more obviously serious than a stuff !)
Best wishes and thx for this “carbon blog”
