So, I just calculated my “carbon footprint”, and managed a magical 2.998!!!
….If you’d asked me what that meant 10 minutes ago, you would’ve gotten a very, VERY blank stare.
This 2.998 figure is how many tonnes of carbon dioxide I’m producing every year. And apparently, this is good. Very good, actually.
Am I surprised? Naw. Honestly, I live on-campus, and commuting leaves you with a whopping number, even when taking the bus. I walk to class every day, live by myself, and make use of my Edward Cullen blanket often instead of attempting to turn up the heat (wow…this makes me sound rather sad actually…).
The thing that got me was my meat and food intake: yeah, I’m a carnivore I’ll admit it, and I probably should cut down on the imported TV dinners and up the organic nummies consumption, but the real question is, will I be motivated enough to actually do that?
Pfft. No. Honestly, I’m a student. I can’t afford to buy organic foods, nor do I have any desire to drag my butt all the way to the organic grocery store every week.
Naw, I make my contribution already by not commuting…even if it’s through not even trying.
