> What about you? Glad you asked: I am in the middle of a year (to start) without flying. Most people when I ask the last time they went 365 without flying say decades. That was the case for me. I'm learning that flying and happiness have zero correlation. Haven't eaten meat since 1999, and maybe a few pounds of animal products in the past decade. Haven't owned a car since 1988. I live in Manhattan and take maybe 2 or 3 taxi rides a year. I'm even taking the subway and bus less in favor of walking. Avoid food with packaging, mostly buying from farmers markets and a CSA, to where I empty my landfill garbage 3 or 4 times per year. Write about these things, mostly on my blog (for example: http://joshuaspodek.com/avoiding-food-packaging http://joshuaspodek.com/avoiding-food-packaging or http://joshuaspodek.com/cheetah-extinction-earths-carrying http://joshuaspodek.com/cheetah-extinction-earths-carrying and related links within), and starting to in my Inc. column (for example: http://www.inc.com/joshua-spodek/leonardo-dicaprio-martin-scorsese-and-trent-reznors-important-but-flawed-stateme.html http://www.inc.com/joshua-spodek/leonardo-dicaprio-martin-sc...) Generally avoiding accumulating less stuff. Developing relations with people at Columbia's earth science departments to see about developing leadership courses there to help the people most knowledgeable about the science to become more influential.
