What Is Your Carbon Footprint

I have never considered myself a tree hugger. I feel I am more of tree petter. I am not comfortable enough to fully embrace the tree but I will pet it and maybe rub it's tummy! I recycle everything to the extent of harassing coworkers for plastic bottles and picking up cardboard boxes on the docks at the hospital. I guess it just hurts my feelings to see all this go into a landfill to rot or whatever it does. I also try to keep all the lights turned off in the house when not in use.
My carbon footprint is 16.974 tons/year. I am actually below average with the national rate being 20.4 tons/year. I feel I am somewhat environmentally friendly but I have not converted to fluorescent bulbs yet. I still drive a gas guzzling Tahoe but it does switch from a V8 to a V4 on the interstate when you don't need the other cylinders. Make no mistake...I will not be buying any carbon offsets. I am not that gullible. If you would like to know what your carbon footprint is....
