Title: How to calculate your personal carbon footprint Post by: sauerkraut on May 29, 2008, 09:13:06 am I don't believe in global warming, but I wish it was real. I think living in a warmer world would be a good thing. Longer growing seasons, more crops, less heating fuel needed, more time for outdoor R&R.. I don't see anything postive about wanting a colder planet, (shorter growing seasons, and using more heating fuel). I hear something that in the UK they are giving everyone a "Carbon Card" and when your carbon credits are all used up you have to pay extra to buy gasoline or something like that. That could be coming the the USA. Rush L. was talking about that on his radio show I think global warming is a big hoax..

Surprised they didn't ask about property maintenance, like lawn mowing.

That would save way more than anything proposed, and would be permanent. Just think, no heating season at all. What gives anyone a right to heating fuel just because they live in a northern climate?

The first calculator gave me a score of "0" for my house which is obviously wrong. I still used a little over 26 tonnes though. Title: How to calculate your personal carbon footprint Post by: custosnox on May 29, 2008, 09:47:57 am my actual footprint was about 13, but I had to play with it. If I live like a jetsetting millionair, the national avarage looked like a squished little dot, but if I lived like a lettuce eating, bike riding hippie, then the footprint was no existant. Ahhh the spectrum.

I tried "implementing" the suggested changes, and it still only took me down to 2.9 planets.
