I'm convinced tht energy processing is as much of the objective of Waste Management as trash collecting. That's why I make a policy of buying one share of WM a week.

Carbon Angel offers a calculator to determine your carbon footprint, as well as the opportunity to buy carbon credits to offset your carbon emissions. A pretty valuable system until the industries are developed that will drastically decrease our reliance on processes that emit carbon! I'm an intern with Trust for the Future, and I highly suggest checking out Carbon Angel! On a more relevant note, I do believe new technologies like this trash-to-energy in CA are bringing real progress to the clean energy and energy efficiency scene, albeit it's still happening on a small scale thus far. The biggest difference from decades past is the public awareness of the need for better energy sources, and the popular excitement pushing in that direction. Response to Alex:

Fusion is a crock! We need to invest in desert solar power plants, and soon! When the military releases its research on depleted Uranium super batteries, and cars have carbon fiber in place of heavy metal bodies, practical electric cars will become a reality. Small, low pressure LFTR Thorium reactors will soon replace power supplies for hospitals, large areas of suburbia and larger hotel complexes,(see 'Slow Poke' reactors) but greedy government and private individuals are still standing in the way. High oil prices will apply the pressure needed to get 'Carte Blanche' for many solutions, now hidden from sight by unscrupulous profiteers.
