I live in a major metropolitan. From what I understand from the MTA propaganda the average NYer has a carbon footprint 1/4 the size of the average American.
I walk to work some time. I usually take public transportation. If I'm in our car, it's usually with my wife and we're escaping the city. I drive less than 8,000 miles per year and have the odometer to prove it.
I volunteer for Lifebeat.org from time to time. I visit with AIDS patients, people who are in their last stages of life and know they will succumb to the disease soon. The house I go to is their last stop most of the time. New medications have made it not 100% of the time, but still more often than not, these people I meet will not make it through the end of the year.
