Yukon Tracks

If you tracked your driving by pounds of carbon produced rather than gallons of gas consumed?

Do you think that you would drive less?

Every gallon of gasoline that is consumed produces about 5 pounds of carbon. In the course of a 40-mile commute, a Ford Exjplorer or GM Yukon throws about a dozen pounds of carbon into the air.
Beelnite, thanks for the link!

Hi Amy - This is somewhat related and ironically I just finished reading - it's from the NYT Magazine and discusses the "costs" of driving...

... and I can't say enough about driving less as an avid cyclist/commuter. It's changed my whole life for the better in more ways than simply feeling good about reducing my footprint!
