This is the kind of post that unfortunately doesn't tend to get much response here, because people read it and basically agree with the sentiment. It's not a controversy, not a spark for a flame war, so it tends to sink, and that can be depressing when one posts about such an important topic. Be assured, though, that it does get read - and don't be shy about coming back and kicking it a couple of times.

My "one change" for the coming year is going to be starting a compost bin, with a secondary ambition of growing a good bit of my own food (and collecting rainwater for use in the garden) and buying locally at farmer's markets. I've already got the fluorescent light bulbs, and I've got my driving whittled down about as far as it can go. I do a lot of recycling, especially of metal, and I buy and sell lots of secondhand items. I'm always on the lookout for other ideas, but for now I'll commit to the "one thing."

Thanks again for posting this article!
