My carbon footprint is low. I have an beat up old (but economic) car that does about 3k miles a year, 40+ mpg (UK gallon). I also use public transport. I live on a managed Estate that has been running for about 300+ years. I do some woodwork from seasoned wood sawn (using a water powered saw mill) from trees that are part of the natural fall rate on the estate. The tool set is changing to more modern equipment though. Some of natural fall rate is turned into firewood used for heating fuel.

I think there are many opportunities for making a better environment, technology could be of assistance, but yet unrealized. Take timber harvesting as an example. There no real need for growing lifeless monoculture forests. Forests could be gown near to natural variations supporting a diversity of wildlife. Purpose made harvesting machines could go in and thin the forest, keeping a balance, maximising the productivity for a given forest area. Much like the old traditions.

The sea and fishing is another huge subject where improvements could be made. Fat chance at the moment. Technically, the subject would be a good challenge. In about 20 years or so, huge changes could be realized. The UK political scene is not conducive to such changes as things stand.
