That’s a rhetorical question.

Generally, my carbon footprint is probably really tiny, just by virtue of living in a really urban area, but I can’t take credit for that.

Ultimately, I’m kind of okay with the world ending.

I also ride my bike around town, like to whole foods where I use my canvas bags to buy organic, vegan food. You didn’t put biking on the list, but I wanted to make sure I got credit for it.

boo. ya.

I do use the curly lightbulbs, not because of my love of the environment, but because I am CHEAP and LAZY. The bulbs are very inexpensive at Ikea, and, since electricity is the only utility not already included in my rent, using the low energy bulbs feeds my inner skinflint. Furthermore, they last forever. I’ve been living in my apt. for a year now and have not yet had to change a light bulb. Anything that keeps me from having to hop up on a ladder is worth it.
