Ruth, that's a great table. It really shows the impact of some of our choices. Cars and homes are such a big deal, it makes some of the other choices seem minor. But it all adds up.
I like to think about some of the other side of it too - getting some carbon credits. Planting trees. Changing lawns to trees shrubs and xeroscapes. Painting the roof white. Moving closer to work.
I would multiply the "one vegetarian meal per week" by 21, so it's 3 meals daily, 7 days a week. But that's just me. It would make it >8,000 pounds, if the math translates (breakfast is different from supper). Also, eat home prepared vs. driving somewhere to eat.

The table at this site helps you to compare CO2 production from routine choices.

Here's a Facebook page with images from the Global Frackdown.
Egypt is a new target, according to Desmoblog....shale gas industry wildcatters see the country as a new possible home for fracking, as covered in a Sept. 19 blog post published by the Egyptian Initiative on Personal Rights (EIPR). Royal Dutch Shell and Apache have expressed interest in extracting Egypt's shale deposits.
“Fracking threatens Egypt's drinking water, but Shell and Apache's drilling is mired in secrecy. Egyptians have a right to know how their resources are managed and how that impacts their environment and life," said Reem Labib, Environmental Justice Researcher at EIPR.

Recovering from Religion
Unless you were raised by atheist parents, you probably had some recovering to do when you left religion. The purpose of RR is to provide a landing place for people when they jump from religion. With local support groups throughout the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and real-time resources accessible to everyone, RR is where to turn when faith has lost its luster.See More
