As Hetzer pointed out months ago, and the fact I can't find the original thread how have you INCREASED your carbon foot print.

with the same rules as before Increasing your carbon footprint as much as possible with minimal or zero cost to yourself!.


I was bored in work and noticed that the automatic hand dryer was vulnerable to having a piece of paper stuck to the bottom, and it stayed on all day 2400watts for hours, since accountancy is dominated by women mostly I was the only person to use the gents on Friday thus it was on for ages, at which the office became a sauna type heat and everybody turned on their fans.

more suggestions?.

I rubbed a lump of coal over the soles of my shoes before I left the house this morning.

Moved rooms the other day. Rubbish? No problem, the old room's got a fireplace, sling it on there. Old socks, plastic bags, magazines, anything got slung on. It got so hot I had to open all the windows.

I like to think I wiped out an endangered species with the amount of rubbish I burnt that day. Cool

I've been doing my bit to increase my carbon footprint by watching the MGP practice. The carbon footprint from the race bikes (and especially the classics) must be quite large. Thumbs Up

Got my baby bike mot'd today, did about 20 miles for no real reason other than I could. Although it was a bit painful at 30mph. I'm sure I used to enjoy that once. Anyway that's now 2 cars and 2 bikes roadworthy. Thumbs Up

Did housework and left all the appliences on.

Using the hoover, washing machine, tumble dryer (even though it's hot enough to dry my clothes outside) computer playing music. sky box receiving broadcasts of 1990's game shows.

Also closed the curtains and switched the lights on.

I /could/ walk into town later but to be honest I will take the bike.

Thumbs Up

Actually I get quite cross that (even though we joke about it) some systems have been put in place by The Rich People and the Governments which means that the industrialists who ARE polluting are actually getting richer by doing so.

Does anyone, apart from me, even understand the carbon emissions trading system? (and even my knowledge is very limited, but its really pissed me off).

Got in my bosses digger at 8 am this morning, at 8:02 I had caused what my gaffer said was about 9 or ten grands worth of damage!

This meaning the fitters have to come out in there diesel vans and use generators to power stuff to fix it, that should cause some shit for the atmosphere.

And pointlessly turned my digger on and off for a while because I like the black clouds of smoke that puff out when you start it.
