No, I have not fundamentally changed my life -- well I don't spend as much time on planes, but that is more for reasons having nothing to do with climate change. Between 1992 and 2002 I flew over 2 million miles -- I don't come close to doing that anymore. That is almost once around the world in airmiles every month for ten years -- my carbon footprint is a size 16. I also drive alot -- I ski in the Sierras and think nothing of it. I no longer eat much beef -- but it is more for health than greenhouse gases. I eat stuff grown all over the world and have only recently started to even think about cutting back on anything. What has caught my attention more than carbon in my personal life is the remarkable emptiness of the lives of the people I see around me -- people in America are not all that happy about life. I think that is the heart and soul of the American disease. I want to reorder my life so that I am not as miserable as the people around me. The pursuit of happiness should not require an SUV and an executive membership at Costco.
