I went to the grocery store with my wife today and saw a brand of sugar grown and processed in Florida. On the front was the label “Certified Carbon Free”. According to WikiAnswers (and based on my memory of the chemical formula for sugar) without carbon you are pretty much left with water. Sugar is chemically C12H22O11 or C6H12O6. That “C” is carbon. I picked up the container to read they really mean that their carbon use/spewing is certified as being offset. Which is a good thing, cause as I wrote, sugar without carbon is really just water.
