Online Education - Any Carbon Credits or Tax Breaks for it?,

Does anyone know of any type of "carbon like" credit or tax break that you can get just for doing your education online? How does everyone feel about large college campuses that continue to grow larger? Doesn't investing in online education make more sense based on the consumption of energy and natural resources?

Put your two cents in this discussion. I wrote an article about this the other day.

Perhaps one critical thing with colleges is to rethink the whole concept. A large percentage of the degrees in colleges don't do much to improve society or even job prospects and are just an excuse to attend college. They are a huge waste of resources. Rather cull them, or significantly reduce them.
