Gawd, how are you guys managing near 100? That's frickin terrible. If this makes you feel guilty, that's because it should Stop turning taking care of the environment into a partisan issue. EVERYONE lives on the earth.

Our output is 49 here.. not fantastic but much better than average. We recycle probably 75% of our trash, I can't imagine throwing away all the cardboard, glass, etc that we recycle.

I don't throw away all of it, I burn some of it!

My household got a 65. My truck and work airline trips was half of those.

This is too simple a calculator.

Here is one for recycling...

Hm ... the calculator decided that I don't save any trees a year because I don't recycle the Sunday paper.

It did not ask me if I actually ever had a physical Sunday paper in my hot little hands in the first place.

How about this one?  No sound effects or fancy mysterious pipe flow chart, but similar idea behind it ... and I got to say if I took the Sunday paper or not before it ran my numbers:

In 'excactly' world, do they understand sarcasm and basic 5th grade science?

Your guilt footprint might be 49, but the SMUG cloud over your house is huge.  Of George Clooney proportions even!  Tulsa cannot afford to have to issue smug alerts this early in the year.  Please act while you can or we'll have the perfect storm of self-satisfaction that will be more devastating than even the recent ice storm!  Remember, EVERYONE lives on this earth!
