So I ran across a little book called "How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint" (Yarrow) while I was killing time in the mall this weekend- the well-designed cover caught my eye. I'm always on the lookout for low-hanging fruit that will help reduce my footprint: last week, I replaced two incandescent light bulbs with CFL bulbs in the kitchen, and I am constantly turning off the A/C that my roommate runs all day long! So as I picked up this book, I randomly thumbed to a page discussing lawn care- rake leaves instead of blowing them, use an old fashioned mower instead of a power mower, compost the organic waste...
Well, I don't really have a yard of my own, which means that I can't reduce my footprint by taking these particular suggestions. The good news, though, is that my footprint is already smaller because of that fact!
So as I'm looking to buy a home in the near future, I have two options, go yardless, or go old fashioned!
