Do you have a Low Carbon Living Program in your neck of the woods?

Question

From the link below:

"LoCaL households measure their carbon footprints before they begin the program, and continue monitoring as they reduce carbon emissions. Participants improve their energy efficiency and “lose” pounds of carbon dioxide by making their own choices from a suggested list of 22 items, including areas such as solid waste disposal, use of hot water, home heating and cooling, and personal vehicles. Teams make changes to their household systems and their lifestyles to reduce carbon emissions, and take other actions to become carbon neutral."

Would you participate if there was a program like this in your area?

Answer 1

they can keep their environmental extortion.

I'll make my own decisions........

Answer 2

My home is greener than any of the promoters of the AGW myth I have ever encountered so I feel that my lifestyle is beneficial to my bank account and the world. But I would never presume to impose how I live on another because it is my choice, but it might not be theirs. Those who promote myths that do not meet the test of scientific method usually do so for some financial reason and thus their reason for promoting that which is not real is to gain riches for themselves not to benefit the community.

Answer 3

I live in the suburbs and we are more concerned with the escalating cost of fuel and food--- you know survival comes first.

Answer 4

No, and don't buy that load of B.S. being pedaled by Al "An Irresponsible Half-Truth" Gore (and as we all know, a half-truth is a lie).  There is more evidence to prove that the recent climate changes have nothing to do with our emission of greenhouse gases or our so-called "carbon footprint" than there is evidence to prove human beings are the cause of global warming.  We also know that Algore's estate in Tennessee, by his own admission, has a carbon footprint that is over 200 times that of a normal house in the U.S.  Do as I say, not as I do...

Answer 5

No, and I would not participate.  My family already strives to utilize are energy wisely.

Answer 6

All those programs do is give the oil companies bigger and bigger profits. In fact that is what this entire AGW pogrom is all about, preventing the development of workable alternative to oil and coal and making sure the oil companies will reap the profits from anything that does come along. If you support the AGW scam you support making the oil barons even richer than they are now.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Answer 7

I dont live in the woods

Answer 8

Actually, I have a High Carbon Living Program.  My goal is to live like Gore...without the publicity.

No, I won't participate in anything that doesn't advance my financial goals.

Answer 9

No.

Answer 10

no, actually if some loon came up with such a thing, they would be laughed out of town.

Nice try though, I hear such things are great in the USSR.

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

I have a low carbohydrate living program and that plus a lot of exercise has enabled me to lose 25 lbs.

I don't have A/C, use a ceiling fan but have used it only three days this year, because it has been fairly cool this year relative to the last three.     In fact each year I've used the fan less and less.......

Answer 13

Yeah that's cool - I'd like to have a carbon neutral home.  If nothing else, reducing carbon emissions also reduces energy use which saves money!  But personally I care about the environmental impact more than I care about the money.

Answer 14

Would it apply if my home was made from carbon surplus. Having...hmm, lets say a ~100 year life span if properly maintained. I would be utilizing instead of reducing. What about about some new innovation that lets you have a home that may last 10x that duration using a carbon product?  Could I still participate?

Answer 15

No I wouldn't waste my time
