Has the White House reduced its carbon footprint under Obama?

or are there plans to do so?

What did you do to reduce your carbon footprint this week?

Keeping in the spirit of the Be A Better Planet promotion… I am asking this question yet again….

What does it mean to “reduce your carbon footprint”?

And how do I so? I know the best way is to buy a car that uses less energy, but I can’t afford it. What are other things I can do?
Right, I know it means saving energy, etc., but what exactly is a “carbon footprint?” And where did the term come from?

Is not breeding (having children) the biggest step you can take to reduce your carbon footprint?

redypys, You are right in everything but as to the drop in the ocean thing, compared to some things that people pat themselves on the back for, like unplugging their cellphone chargers from the wall- not having kids, or having only one kid would actually make a much greater difference.
Yeah, it’s hilarious all us college educated types choosing not to have kids, meanwhile the uneducated Nascar fans will inherit the earth–Hilarious!
