In the early am we walked to the next business on the schedule, Framtiden. It was a smaller business that works with carbon offsetting. The company reminded me of the company I interned for during my Winter Quarter at school. It is a small nonprofit trying to make a small difference. After the visit, my class went to a park where we discussed the business; it seemed to be controversial as some thought carbon offsetting was a bad program and does not help the environment and others thought it was disappointing because the company does not try to eliminate all carbon emissions from the companies that join their program. Personally, I believe carbon offsetting is just a small help to the big picture in the fight against carbon emissions. Also, compared to most carbon emission reduction programs this has been way more successful. We ate some omeletes for lunch and got on the train toward Voss. The train ride was so pretty. The scenery in Norway is unbelievable. We got to Voss pretty late and watched the soccer game and went to a Extreme Sports Convention on the beach. My hotel room is incredible with a great view of the lake and mountains. I never want to leave here.
