| Global Misuse Offsets Coin Funnel |
| The coin funnel speaks specifically to my ambivalent feelings toward the booming practice and business of buying and selling carbon offsets, which I refer to in my project as Global Misuse Offsets. My funnel operates on a honor system of self recognized guilt, not indictments, betting on the strong likelihood that more than a handful of us will forget to turn off the lights or worse. To take the words of Friar John Tetzel, "As soon as a coin from the coffer sings, a soul from purgatory springs." |
