Reduce your greenhouse gas emissions

Canadian program, but no reason not to run the calculations. Just pick a province and try it out.

1. 8.5 Tonnes
Above the canadian average of 5.5.

The biggest part, of course, is transportation.

Since there is no reliable public transportation in my area, I drive everywhere. I drive a mid-range vehicle, as far as gas mileage goes. That's because I haul feed, etc.; I need my truck. It's a toyota, which is the most efficient truck I can find.

For the rest, I'm pretty efficient.

When I replaced my old 'yota with a new one this year, I wished that they would offer a small utility truck in a hybrid; hopefully, this truck will give me the same 10+ years of service that it's predecessor, who is now serving my son, did. By that time, maybe I'll have more choices!
