Reducing your carbon footprint.

RGD. · 09-10-2009, 05:43 AM

Previous conversation with my daughter in college:

Phone rings

Me: Hello
Her: Hey Dad.
Me: Hey. What's up.
Her: Well we were figuring up carbon footprints, and do you know how much your carbon footprint is?
Me: Size 11?
Her: Serious Dad. Your truck is the biggest problem, spewing out crap and all.
Me: Well . . . I could sell the truck that is helping me earn enough money to pay for your college. Buy me a sky blue Prius or some damn thing. And then you could pay for your own college.
Her: So - you need a new air freshener or something for the truck?
Me: Uh-huh. LOL

Like most - we do recycle, to an extent. Lawn debris get put in the back woods and stuff. Compact bulbs where I can, etc etc. Really though - I worry about Carbon Footprints as much as I do about Global Warming. Pretty much not.

I recycle as much as possible, paper, plastic, glass. Turn lights off when I'm not using them. My apartment doesn't even have AC so there goes that right there

.

I don't see any problem with keeping the environment around us clean and nice and tidy. If you've ever visited some places in the former Soviet Union or Eastern Europe you can see what happens when you have people that don't care about their environment.
