Still damn impressive though Kev!

7.1 tonnes for me.

 

Food was the killer.

[difflock]

8 tonne for us, the dwelling gave a bit of a kicking =43% of it

Actually that 8 tonne is for both of us, so make that 4 tonne?

[Big J]

14 tonnes for me. 

 

On the point of veganism (or at least reducing meat consumption), it is pretty much the most efficient way of reducing your environmental impact. I was vegan for 8 years in my early 20s, and gave up once I could no longer reconcile forestry work (and the need to shoot squirrels and deer) with my dietary/lifestyle choice. I'm now just a hypocrite that feels that veganism is the healthiest and most environmentally sound choice, but can't face it myself. Having a very, very fast metabolism doesn't help as I lose weight extremely quickly. 

 

My wife is vegan, and has been for 15 years now. We've two very bright daughters who are growing like weeds, and went through pregnancy and 2 years of breastfeeding on a vegan diet by proxy.

 

It is definitely the most healthy diet. It is definitely the most environmentally friendly diet. It's just not the most interesting diet! ?

16 tonnes, travel was nearly 50%.

 

Looks like they need to improve aeroplanes, a lot.

Were you particularly high in any one sector?

I forgot to check. I'll look again. Probably transport - my works van is terrible on fuel, but I don't fly often

The national psyche summed up perfectly there Mesterh.?

Almost half travel. 

 

I don't use trains or buses, don't fly often, but use a lot of fuel for work. With the machines on site, an awful lot of diesel really.

Yup.

 

A really detailed questionnaire would presumably offset some of that fuel against the Wood product you produce and the increased forest growth yield you generate.
