Greenhouse Gas Emissions Offset   
Enterprise Rent-A-Car is pleased to offer you the opportunity to benefit the environment by offsetting greenhouse gas emissions generated by a rental vehicle. For just $1.25 you can offset emissions produced by the average rental. The money will go to TerraPass to fund certified offset projects that work to remove carbon from the atmosphere. What's more, we will match these customer contributions dollar-for-dollar up to $1 million dollars.

I wonder what the offset is if you rent a plug-in hybrid...

Here's some money.  Make me feel less guilty about renting from you.  Hey!  How about you move your rental desk closer to the airport gate so I don't have to get in a polluting bus to rent your car.  How about that for an offset?

Offsets like carbon credits are a total scam.

I always thought I should by some remote land and have people pay me not to do anything to it and let it be natural or plant more trees to offset carbon they use.  Come on who would not like to get paid to do nothing to some worthless land. 
I figured people were not really dumb enough to fall it.  I guess never understand the stupidity of some people.

I used to know people in Tennessee that bought land so they would get paid not to grow tobacco.  This was to help keep the price of tobacco high.

Just checked it did not mater same price no matter what you select.  People that rent nicer cars need to pay more for the environment, they need to fix their pricing  :)
