Curious - What is the average household's monthly "carbon debt" so far?

I am about to fly across the country to attend a family reunion. I understand from an article I read that the trip warrants me donating $40 in carbon credits. When the cap and trade system becomes ?real money,? as one of your guests called it, I would have to pay an additional $40.00 in a sort of tax. But, I need that ?real money? for groceries.
