I’ve cut down on my driving, so I recalculated my carbon footprint. This time I used:
http://www.climatecrisis.net/takeaction/carboncalculator/.
On this scale, the average American (I hope that’s household and not individual) produces 7.5 tons of carbon dioxide each year. I (or my household) scored 3.3 tons or 3.5 tons. I don’t know what portion, if any, of my electric service comes from renewable sources. That number still doesn’t make me feel very eco-friendly.
But I’m aware of the impact of my choices. I’m working diligently to develop the skills to become carbon neutral.
