I am curious - are there any numbers on this? If consumers were to change their energy use patterns Al Gore style, (but not corporations) how much would that affect the CO2 emissions? -raghu.
Not much... I'll restate my own experience. I camp out in the summer. Eat (mostly) unprocessed foods. Accumulate little in the way of personal possessions (When I went back to North Carolina last year, my effects weighed 150 lbs according to UPS). I don't own a car and bicycle wherever I need to go, or take public transport. My utilization of the earth's resources in relation to the formula used by global footprint <http://www.footprintnetwork.org/> is STILL 1.2/1 . I'm quite sure ALL Americans would care to live like I do... sure. (snicker). Leigh This post is dedicated to Edward Abbey
