How big your carbon footprint is depends largely on where you live, what you drive, how far you drive, whether you take public transportation, how often and how far you fly, whether you eat a lot of beef and eat local produce and how much you recycle. Seriously. It all comes down to those things.
You can take a carbon quiz at http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/14.05/carbon.html to see where you fall, whether a Deep green (smiley face), a Fair-weather eco-friend (flatline face), or a CO2 addict (unhappy face).
A confession: I have taken a spectacular fall from enviro-grace. Once upon a time I lived in that nirvana of carbon neutrality, Portland, Oregon, a densely urban (and urbane) city of light rail, bike trails and pedestrian malls. More recently I've lived in Weston, Florida, a sprawling tract home development of air-conditioned McMansions, gas-guzzling SUVs and two-hour work commutes.
Can you guess which lifestyle I liked better?
So, take the quiz and share a story.
