Global Warming Challenge 2

The saviors of the environment want 50% reductions in CO2. I challenge anyone to do this. Cut your electrical use by 50-80%, cut your fuel consumption by 50-80%, cut the energy into products you use by 50-80%. You can handle the first two by personally doing it. Thermostat settings just to prevent your house from freezing (no AC) should allow you to keep food cold and cook. You can do without electrical lighting most of the time. If not, take your chances on food poisoning. It is darned easy to cut fuel consumption. Just don't drive. Cuts in product carbon footprint are harder. You just may have to give up getting stuff until you can be assured of its low-carbon value.

Think it's silly? The saviors of the planet are always demanding someone else do it. Don't see any of them trying that life-style themselves.
