The plan evolves: a carbon-neutral nation, starting in east van, starting with my block, starting with me.  Check out the To Do list from the David Suzuki Foundation: http://www.davidsuzuki.org/Climate_Change/What_You_Can_Do/carbon_neutral.asp 

One thing I want to do to reduce my emissions before moving on to step 2 is to get my landlord to agree to a refrigerator upgrade... Then I'll calculate my emissions, choose which to offset and go from there. 

i publically proclaimed my vision of a carbon-neutral east vancouver tonight at the "biggest show on earth" event. at this point, i haven't much more than a handful of ideas about how we might do it. if you'd like to join my quest, i'd love to hear from you.
