At my house, we park our shoes at the door to reduce our carbon footprints since we don’t have to vacuum as much. Not! It is true that the house stays cleaner and we don’t have to vacuum as often with the shoes-at-door-practice, but the truth is we just don’t like to clean and therefore look for any and all ways to achieve that goal.
We also do care deeply about our carbon footprints, so we turn to NativeEnergy, one of the UnTours Foundation’s loan recipients, for assistance. They calculate our lifestyles and provide “offsets”. They also offer tips on how to walk lighter on the planet.
Remember that your diet is one of the quickest ways to walk lighter on the planet.
And don’t forget your companion animals’ footprints! Speaking of which, that’s a pic of my Charlotte dog at the door with the shoes.
“I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?”
