you think it's perfectly normal for an individual to enter a bunch of figures to work out some sort of environmental impact self-assessment calculation? dont you think that's a bit pointless, a bit of a chore? why not just make the practical changes instead of worrying about meeting some quota or score that's effectively meaningless?sonik said:

I only use energy saving lightbulbs.
I use the heating only when necessary, and turned off the immersion heater.
I don't have or use a car and do three to four thousand miles a year by bike.
If I ever go back to France, I'll try to use the Eurostar instead.
I've stopped shopping at Sainsburys in favour of the local market where possible.
I make my own lunch instead of paying for sandwiches I know have been brought up from Heathrow.
I recycle the obvious stuff.
I could also:
Turn off my own PC more (no more BitTorrent )
Turn off my work PC more (simply more hassle)
Turn off various things at home when not in use.
Recycle more.
Think more about packaging.
Reduce much of the water I use.
It would be helpful if:
The local council recycled more, e.g. Tetrapaks for one thing.
My employer had better environmental policies.
I was beaten regularly with a hefty envirostick and forced to do more.

I do that too, but only because I'm picky as fuck when it comes to food, as well as far too stingy to pay 5 quid for a fucking sarny.mauvais said:
Any environmental benefit is purely an annoyingly unintended consequence.
Now that you've pointed this out to me, I may have to incinerate a few oak trees on the way home from work to make amends.

According to Tetrapak, it's dead easy/efficient, and also according to them, our council expresses no interest in it (they have a map of the UK that shows you - saw it the other day). Don't know what the truth in that is.
Edit: http://www.tetrapakrecycling.co.uk/ - says the Germans do 70% of them.
