QUOTE Live simply, so others can simply live. There is a website called Iamrevolting.com that also uses this phrase as its motto. You can measure your carbon footprint here. What things are you doing or plan to do to help reduce your carbon footprint? Some of my plans to reduce the carbon footprints of myself and my family are: I've built a house using recycled materials for the roof and carpet Riding my bike to the grocery store and to the gym in the morning Shopping at places like Ten thousand Villages to help support those that are less fortunate -------------------- My Avon Breast Cancer Walk Page and Blog! I'm In It to End It!
