We were 10.8 as a family without dh's air travel for work. With it we are 18.7. <br />I was thrilled to see that we are well below average for water consumption. <br />I would think that colder areas of the country, like Ottawa, would have to be higher than average as thier winter temperatures are lower causing more energy and heating fuel consumption. <br />I also want to know how organic foods reduce your foot print when my non organic peaches come from 40 km away and the organic ones come from 6000 km away. I'm thinking that's off somehow. <br />When I look at the fact that I am blessed enough that dh and I have better than average jobs, larger than average home, 2 vehicles living in suberbia where there is virtually no public transit I think we're doing pretty well. When I looked at all of the "hints" we do pretty much everything. Those things that I could improve have reasons why I don't already to them. Like more organic isn't in the budget and dh finding a job that doesn't do international travel isn't going to happen with his profession.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483755875097153809noreply@blogger.com
