little Carbon footprints

Standing around work yesterday, talking about cars. I happen to love cars and driving. One co-worker, who likes to promote being Green (drives a Prius, often rides a bicycles to work, is into re-use and recycling) and is expecting child #2, made a suggestion that I get rid of a car. Implying that by having that vehicle, I am making a huge carbon footprint and ultimately causing the destruction of the world.

To which I wanted to reply, "if you're so green, stop adding to the population of the world. Your 2 additional sets of footprints on this world will contribute more overall pollution and consumption than the part-time use of a 2nd vehicle."

Hmmm, who is standing on a taller soapbox?

BTW, I am going to do the food menu items on a weekly basis now. This week is in draft until I complete Sunday's dinner.
