Shrink it!

There's a new hipster green magazine in LA that actually looks pretty good. It's called GOOD. The first issue features an article on some guy in Brooklyn who spent a month trying to reduce his ecological footprint. There are several simple and easy to implement moves there. It's also encouraging to hear that "New York, it turns out, has one of the smallest per capita ecological footprints in the country. Raising the question: if we're already among the most energy efficient of Americans, just how much might our footprints shrink?"

For more info on ecological and carbon footprints, check out the Wikipedia articles linked below. There are links to a bunch of "footprint calculators" at the end of the articles.
