It's going to be tough to compare apples to apples as each calculates offsets a little differently and qualifies purchases differently.

Less consumption is the best way to go green. But, for those items like food, gas, etc....at least we can consumer knowing we are doing good. Rachel – that is a great point!

There really should be an inverse relationship between spending and rewards to provide a truly green credit card: the more you spend, the less rewards you get. Of course, that would be completely counter to the credit card business model... How about reducing consumption rather than fooling ourselves into believing that we can offset our carbon footprints?

Word is spreading! I'm glad I saw this article to give greater context, as I'm not the biggest fan of Bank of America. Now I'll give it a second look.
