My cousin sent me this cool CO2 emissions simulation, which led me to the Eco Footprint Survey. It only takes a minute, and it's pretty interesting. I knew that driving to work everyday isn't such a good thing, but I hadn't really thought about the environmental impact of having my own apartment...
My food "foot print," while smaller than my shelter foot print, also surprised me, since I try to make an effort to buy locally and not eat much meat. Makes me think I need to make trips to the farmers' market more regularly! If you are interested in places where you can "Buy Local" check out Food Routes and Local Harvest.
On an only slightly related note, I got a kick out of the Solar Plant Flash Movie. Too bad it looks like they are only for sale in Japan. :)
Going to see The Corporation for the second time tonight. My college advisor shows films like it every Monday night, so if you are in LA, check out the schedule, and let me know if you'd like to join me some time!

Think I'll work on reducing the number of planets necessary if everyone lived like me (4).
Yeah me too on the 4 planets thing. I think I should be a better bike rider. :)
