Dear Mylotters Every action you take in buying foods and beverages has an ecological footprint. there is a CO2 footprint associated with every item you buy.From the transportation of the food item to the fossil fuels spent in the farming, ranching or processing of the ingredients, it all adds up to an "ecological footprint" that's invisible but very real. Thanks & Regards

I believe in ecological footprint. I've never measured mine, but I'm sure it's insignificant. The thing I do worst at is remembering to turn off lights. I have to get better at that. I know that goes a long way to reducing your footprint. I'm also pretty bad at water usage. Something is always on at my house. I try to be as green as possible but it's hard sometimes especially when society is set up with easy, "ungreen" choices.

Oh good. I want my footprint to be so big, you can see it from outer space...and I'm not kidding when I say this. The whole global warming garbage is precisely that--garbage. I'm not going to change the way I live just because some idiot like Al Gore is spewing out a bunch of lies (and getting paid handsomely, and traveling around in these nice-sized gas-guzzling airplanes). When Al Gore begins giving up his airplanes and limousines and any other method of traveling that requires the use of gas, then I MIGHT consider following suit. Until then, the EPA can bite me.
