Oh dear - I guess going 56 miles to work and back each day has a bit of an impact on this :o

Yikes Godders... :eek:

I must have done something wrong... my carbon footprint looks truly pathetic but I filled everything in. Even included carbon intensive skydiving which I've never actually tried. :o

1010UK (http://www.1010uk.org/) cutting your emissions byt 10% in 2010 campaign, doesn't sound too difficult to me, taken from their site;

Please join 10:10 today. By committing to cut your emissions by 10% in 2010, you will join thousands of individuals, schools, hospitals, businesses and organisations all actively helping to combat climate change by making simple changes to their lifestyles, homes and workplaces. More importantly, your voice will help to put pressure on the politicians to cut Britain’s emissions as quickly as the science demands. If we in the UK can prove that fast, deep cuts can be made at a national level, then we may just inspire all the other big polluting countries to follow suit.

It was less when we lived in the yurt though - the car is the biggest culprit!!!
