Presumably that figure is generally applicable to a population of 6BN, Cut that number back, and we probably wouldn't have that much to worry about.

I suspect thats wrong, cause I know I use a lot less in some respects. Plus, it doesn't differentiate between processed and packaged food. Packaged, to me, means thinks like Chicken Fillets that you keep in a plastic wrap untill you want to eat them.

Glad to see so many people are major Environmentalists!
anything under 4 is good. (in my books)

I liked this question: "Do you bicycle, walk, or use animal power to get around?" It conjured the image of riding a dogsled across Massachusetts.

Yeah, I could imagine sparks flying, wearing the sled down to nothing, and the dogs dying of exhaustion out here...In February! In the last five years where I couldn't drive, I wished horses were a feasible alternative. I don't think it would have had much different of an "ecological footprint", but at least I would have been able to get aroud alot easier and faster.
