Reply #15: That's just plain scary

The more and more I see data like that the more I become convinced that unless we act NOW and QUICKLY then we will be starting Ragnarök in the face with both barrels loaded.

ON EDIT:

I've long since replaced all the bulbs in the dorm that I can with CFLs, I keep the lights and electronics off when not in use and turn them off when roomies are stupid and forget, I walk to class and ride the bus when I go downtown and when I go in a car its either for groceries or I take as many people going the same way as I can fit and take the most direct routes possible. I don't buy pre-made meals and always check the info on the items I buy to make sure the food is as local as possible. When I go to the gym I walk both ways and only turn on the lights that I need for what I'm doing, not everything on the same floor and only when its so dark out that keeping the blinds open won't do squat. I drive a little commuter car instead of a truck, only thing is I wish I really could do more like solar paneling or getting a hybrid but living in dorms says enough about the means for both.
