Apparently, I should have died at age 8

…give or take a few months. At least, that’s what this whacked-out eco-nut greenhouse calculator tells me.

And as far as I can tell, the reason for this is because I:

  1. took two long-distance trips last year ( and the honeymoon in ),
  2. don’t really compost,
  3. enjoy eating meat just a little more than average, and
  4. tend to spend the relatively few dollars I bring in every month on normal, day-to-day things rather than throwing good money after bad with supposedly “ethical” investments or by buying -blended gasoline

Good gravy. On pretty much every other metric on the test, I’m at or below average, but the above is apparently enough to make me such a big producer of carbon that it would have been…er…more ideal had someone found a way to off me back when I was in the third grade.

I have to agree with RightGirl on this one: scratch an environmentalist, and you’ll soon find someone who is more than a little nihilistic where the continued existence of the human race is concerned.
