[Gay State Conservative]

I drive a car that's rated at 45MPG (highway) and does,in fact,get 53MPG.I keep my thermostat at 68 in winter and 75 in summer.My condo is much,much,*much* smaller than his 25,000 sq foot mansion.When I fly,I fly coach...thus I'm responsible for a much smaller portion of the pollution than those who fly first class (or by private jet).

Translation....my carbon footprint is very probably one fiftieth...maybe even one one hundredth...of his.

How does flying coach reduce your carbon footprint over first class, I would think each person on the flight would share equal

You way over estimate your ability to have an effect on the earth.
