When I needed a new car a few years ago, I passed on my 'dream car' for a more basic car because the flashy car took 50% more fuel.

But in the end, that's small fries. I should be taking the bus to work if I really wanted to reduce my travel carbon footprint.

My house probably produces way more CO2 than my car. Heating/cooling (use a programmable thermostat, wear warm clothes indoors in winter). Lights (I've mostly switched to CFL.. no LEDs yet, until the CFLs start dying). Laundry (use cold water.. new detergents work better in cold water anyway). Water heating (you'll never take my long hot showers from me!!).
