The biggest change for me has bee moving to the country and living rurally; working toward raising most of the food we eat and eventually the energy we use.
Dolgin’s comment about reducing his carbon footprint by becoming vegetarian is disingenuous. While it may, in some circumstances reduce carbon, vegetarianism raises a whole host of other problems, including the widespread disruption of small game through widespread planting; the mass destruction of habitat all over the world (most egregiously in Brazil) to accommodate soy for tofu, mono cultural planting – the list just goes on and on. As Wendell Berry pointed out, it is far better to simply know the food; where it is grown and who grew it, to the best of our knowledge.
