Which pretty much proves my point that environmental footprint is more a social than an individual decision. You go to great effort to get your footprint down, hard work, deliberately low income - and you still can't get your consumption down to a fair share of global footprint. Cause it is not caused by and won't be solved by individual lifestyle choices.
BTW, it's: "...but most Americans don't." *now*.... and then "sh-- happens". The rest of America can squander what I don't use and believe their hybrid cars will save them. It's OK. Really. I can't help them with that... It's a terrible terrible addiction. Consumerism.
Right a fuckin individual decision. Cause everybody could individually just make the decision and live a simpler life - all at once if they wanted - without any danger of becoming homeless.
