Yesterday, invited to a Los Angeles green action committee meeting, it was like competition of the low-carbon footprint players.
"I was going to take the bus," I started. "But I didn't feel safe waiting at bus stops late at night. So I drove."
Meanwhile, a polished-looking couple entered the Westside home, "We drove our zero-emission Nissan Leaf." Okay this is pretty good, but truly outstanding if powered by their solar paneled roof.
Then a flushed pink in the face man, who wore a green shirt Walk! Run! entered, "I just walked a mile-and-a-half". Okay, then!
Equalling his carbon-free score-card, a group member, who lived more than 30 miles away, stayed home opting for communication through speaker phone. He shared his low carbon ideas via an iPhone speaker positioned in the center of our group.
And there you have it. A green team in action.
How many meetings do you attend, where the attendees start with guilt/guilt free carbon footprint admissions? Pretty cool if you ask me.
