Its typical of society today that we want someone to do all the hard yards for us so until we decide to get off our fat backsides and start contributing to the community then your right Mark no one will do it, thank goodness our farmers show a little more backbone than the rest of us, Try this Mark, pay a little more attention to doing your Tax and you might save youself a few $ and while your at it try paying a little more attention to the enviroment, let us all know how you get on, just one more thing, How green is your lawn at the moment ?

Will certainly end up as part of a series in 10 years time call “Great Hoax’s of the 21st Century”.

I thought their survey was a little too basic as well, and think you should use other carbon calculators (eg: our electricity use should be offset by the fact that it’s green, so our use of the dryer shouldn’t matter). And the answers it came up with – Cool customer, Carbon Cowboy or Carbon Catastrophe???

Above all, my biggest disappointment was that no celebrity surveyed was already commited to a green lifestyle. Although I acknowledge the value of showing lifestyles of folks at the top end of carbon emissions, it would have been nice to showcase somebody who was commited to changing their lifestyle – there seem to be quite a few of us out there.

The worst part was the surveys provided changes they could make, and most made only loose commitments to change. It’s nice they want to participate, but if they can’t be bothered to commit to change, what hope do the rest of us have? At least give us good examples to follow!

Have to say we love Dr Karl though – he’s still the best role model.

The BP one is pretty good for estimating your total carbon “footprint”.

The Infinite Power one is very good for detailed studies like how much more carbon will I produce if I heat with electricity vs natural gas?

The HybridCars one is good for seeing how much difference in carbon emissions between different cars.

the electric company should do the figuring for you, as well as the gas company etc etc etc

Im writting this as I dont own a mobile. My score was 15. Thank you for running this Show as we need more people aware of these issues. The Government need to address the issue of hot water systems, and insulation in government housing. Im sure my footstep would go down if those were implemented. I only use 2 incadencent bulbs in my house but that is because of the fittings. I have a watersaving shower fitting. I dont own a car I walk or catch public tranport. I buy local produce when available and when there isnt a water shortage grow my own vegetables. I recycle without fail now that we have that option, we only got house recycle bins here in Oct last year still waiting foor the green ones. I only wash clothes in cold water and dry on the line, I dont own a dryer. I also dont own an air conditioner. I started buying floresant bulbs 5 years ago at least well ever since they came out.

Thanking you
