Carbon Footprint Reality

While working on my Best Practices Report, I came across a link on the TAMU website that calculates your carbon footprint.  I like to think that I'm below average on my carbon footprint, but I took the test to make sure!  Turns out... I really am a little below the national average!  What I thought was really cool about this site was that it showed you the state average and how you compared also.  Also, I've been reading about the inconsistency on self reported surveys, and I found myself doing the very thing that I had been reading about...giving the answers that I thought were socially desired, not the what I was actually doing!  So click go to the Nature Conservancy Website and see what your carbon footprint is!  I challenge you to be brutally honest and don't over/underestimate your impact!
