Today is earth day.  The radio is all “Al Gore this…” and “carbon footprint that….” so I’m all “what’s a carbon footprint?”  I went to this website to calculate my carbon footprint.  I learned that the average person’s carbon footprint is about 17.8 tons of CO₂ per year.  Using the simple calculator I figured mine to be about 10.5 tons of CO₂ per year.  I drive a “standard pickup truck” so I’m a little high in transportation, however I travel infrequently so I am much lower in travel.

I may not be completely green, but I’m not as bad as a could be either.  I’ll call Earth Day a win this year, since this is probably the first time I’ve spent any considerable time thinking about it.  Baby steps.  Now excuse me, I’m off to trade in the truck for a Toyota Prius.

P.S. - I do recycle at home, but it seems that no one is talking about that anymore.  That must be all 1990’s.
