Carbon Footprint?

Bike to work month is May.

Check out sightline.org's How Low Can You Go graphic.

And if you are hopping on the airplane soon, check the emissions profile over at Atmosfair.de. Solidly crazy stuff. Although it doesn't seem that it is possible to compare flying vs driving, that or i can't figure out how to work the calculator over there. But based on Sightline's graph an airplane generally does better per passenger mile than a car driven with one person. Not that you can drive across the ocean.

But anyway...

Eat well, eat quality food, not just the best value/dollar food. Eat local.

When it comes down to it, your food is absolutely the biggest factor in your foot print on this place. What you eat. Where it comes from. How it is processed and where.

Wendell Barry, Pollan... they got it figured out... it is about time everyone else around here does... before Kunstler's predictions come true.

so what you're saying is that you should kidnap a couple vagrants every time you drive somewhere?
