I found myself in a situation where I was fraternizing with environmentally conscious people and someone said to me, “You should be carbon-neutral with all the traveling you’ve been doing this year. You should see how much carbon you’ve used and try and offset that with trees.” I thought that was a fantastic idea and I discovered that I had used a forest’s worth of carbon. So I thought, How do I go about doing this? I spoke to a friend and he said, “Look, there’s a mango tree plantation in Bangalore, India, that we are trying to set up and we would love for you to be the person who offsets their carbon by donating to this forest.” So I said okay. So as far as I know, they’ve been picking mangoes and selling mangoes and, with the profits, planting more mango trees-benefiting people who enjoy mangoes. I enjoy mangoes, so more mangoes in the world I think is a great thing.
