In the last couple years, I've found myself becoming more and more aware of the waste I was producing. I try to recycle whenever it is feasible. I really like computers and other energy hungry hobbies; for this reason, I'm a huge supporter of green energy adoption. I think that trying to mitigate your energy usage only goes so far before you should really just examine the source of your energy. I also can't wait for electric cars. I drive thousands of miles a year in the Midwestern US and I hate having to do it using fossil fuels.

Do you care about the environment? Is it a daily thought in your mind? What are some aspects of your carbon footprint you have tried to improve?

When I was in high school/university, I cared a lot about our environment.

I did rallies / walks / fund raisers etc.

When I was around 30 I realized even if I could grow to be the most influential person in my country, I wouldn't even make a dent in the global market.  This is really an "all or nothing" project.  If China will not cooperate, what I do is insignificant.  :/
