I would make Al Gore proud but for all the wrong reasons. Don’t get me wrong I want to keep the earth nice and green but the personal decisions I have made in my life have helped the other green as well (see below).
(1) SOLAR PANELS- I have solar panels on my house which lower my carbon footprint yet the the real reason I put them up is they lower the other green. As these panels were put up for free and cost me nothing to operate just save me monies with lower energy bills.
(2) SOLAR GENERATOR- This also continues to lower my carbon footprint as it takes solar energy from the day and utilized it at night saving me green in both directions. It also is off the grid so during a blackout our house will be lighted up.
(3) TESLA- I’m very close to purchasing this vehicle (not as close as Tesla wants it to be) which will make my Carbon Footprint ten times lower then Mr. Gore. Yet the real reason is G-D willing this car will pay for itself in less then 10 years with lower maintenance costs (oil changes need not apply) and no trips to the gas station.
(4) LESS COW- I’ve reduced my intake of meat as a whole which should produce less of the other type of gas and is recommended by the green scientist as well as the doctors who say this is good for your heart. It also makes my Rabbi happy by making sure the right cow goes down the pipeline.
(5) NO PRIVATE JETS- The cost to the environment is not my main concern but the cost to my wallet.
