i totally agree with meeklo and joeth. being environmentally conscious isn't something that can be measured and compared, and trying to do so just adds confusion. promoting education is crucial, so that people can choose how and where they contribute, rather than being told specifically what to do.
being more aware of the choices we make as consumers is definitely a huge step. no one can be infallible in this day and age, but making an effort to examine the detrimental effects some of our decisions is certainly progress.

"Century of the Self"
