Nick Eisenberger sent this website along. This non-profit org uses your donation to buy and retire carbon-emissions trading rights, so, for example, for a couple hundred dollars a year, you can offset your annual emissions and effectively go 'carbon neutral'. Pretty amazing - it almost seems too easy. If this calculation is legit (I have no reason to believe it isn't), this is another data point for why the key here is spreading awareness. Cost is not the hurdle.
p.s. using Carbonfund, although a good deed, doesn't count towards 'the game.' Or should it?
