My bike has a carbon fork. I have a carbon fiber guitar case. My skis have carbon fiber in them. My ski poles are carbon fiber. My boat is kevlar composite. But most of all, I love to grill. Real charcoal only please!

I found my footprint to be excessively high because it penalizes ownership of several vehicles, and assigns a minimum yearly mileage on each...even if they don't ever move!

It also assumes each adult is driving one or more of them, despite the fact that my wife and I work at the same place and ride together to work every day. Plus, she rarely drives, so we are in the same vehicle on weekends as well.

The vehicle list wasn't complete either..."300E" was absent from the 93 MB model list, so I had to improvise by selecting the 300SEL...and I had to cut my vehicle count since my 73 Bug was too old for the list that didn't go earlier than 1985.

It's like a golf score. Zero is good, anything over zero makes you an earth destroying heathen.
