If you ever feel bad about the extra carbon that your gas-guzzling SUV (or even your sleek Prius or biodiesel-powered Volkswagen) emits, there’s an easy way to ease your conscious – TerraPass. I’d heard about the TerraPass before, but never bothered to read up on the details until I received an email with a link to a new environmental economics blog (for which, I discovered, one of the professors at my program is an author). There are only a few other articles up so far (I wasn’t kidding when I said it was new), but this looks to be an economic version of RealClimate.org, with contributions only from real experts in the field.

In addition, I’m contemplating a reworking of the blogroll, and I’m interested in readers’ suggestions. I’m not necessarily looking for more links (though good ones are always welcome), but ideas for how a largish blogroll can be presented in a useful way. I don’t just want to have a collection of a thousand links, but rather something that will help people find blogs that fit their interest. One model I’m considering is something akin to what PZ Myers has done over at Pharyngula (if pete has the time and know-how to help me with it, that is). Let me know what you all think.
