Carbon footprint?

Post by Kevin1 »

Slate magazine today published an article about who's carbon footprint is bigger, men or women. Men lose, mostly because of driving habits. What car do they show to illustrate their point? A Spider!

I hope they shot the pic when he was shifting, and that he's not driving around with his hand resting on the stick like that LOL ;-)

I don't know about that... Women still haven’t made up for single handedly destroying the ozone layer in the 70’s and 80’s :D

Men drive more just so they can pick up more women. Men hunt and women peck. A man can also cook a 3 course meal using only one pot and a fork, which requires far less water to clean than when every utensil in the kitchen is used.

So, drive your Spider and love every minute of it. We'll run out of fossil fuels before we run out of breathable air or livable climates.
