I'm lazy, and somewhat anti-social, so I don't do very much. This means I consume less and have a lower carbon footprint.
However, to my shame, the entire house is kept at a decent temperature during the day, even though often nobody is there - heating in winter and AC in summer - so that the dog is comfortable.
The dog makes up for it: she shits all over the back yard, so the area is naturally and organically fertilized.
There is a new "eat local" movement and so I am converting to only coffees grown in my hemisphere. I must pass up my favorite New Guinea for something raised in Costa Rica. It will be missing some of the lively acidity of a bean grown in rich volcanic soil. But I'm willing to do my part.
