happy earth day

In honor of Earth Day, I have decided to make a contribution back to our planet by reducing my carbon footprints. For starters, I have stopped wearing my Carbon Boots and plan to recycle them in an appropriate manner.

Additionally, I have created my own version of carbon offsets to help reduce personal methane emissions. Because methane has a high Global Warming Potential, I have designed a specialized system enabling me to reduce methane outputs (MOs).

In a typical day I eat and digest one or two salads, each containing up to six unique vegetables. Each vegetable consumed has the potential to generate three metric tons of MO. Incredible, I know. Here is a formula to represent this equation:

(CW to the power of D) x ([salad x 6v] +- 2) = 3tMO


To the layman, this equation looks complex, but it breaks down simply: The fewer vegetables I eat, the fewer MOs I produce.

Just doing what I can.

Like the new look of your blog. Is it just in honor of Earth Day, or will it be sticking around for a while?

It was mostly green for earth day, but I might keep it around a little while. Nothing like blogger templates to make life easy! :)
