Carbon Netural Games

Carbonrally is a new diversion that might be fun to play with friends or neighbors during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday or use as a conversation starter when the football conversation languishes in minutiae that no one but your older brother and father-in-law either understand or care. We can't be serious all the time, can we?

There's a challenge that's easy--the current one is to inflate car tire pressure to the correct proper inflation, a good idea for everyone driving to and from grandmother's house, anyway. Savings estimated to be 29 pounds of carbon a month. Other activities include using no new grocery bags for a month, giving up bottled water, changing out incandescent light bulbs, or reducing automobile use. Things you, my dear readers are already doing.

But, it looks like a good way to start a conversation with others who may not be aware how easy it is to make a difference. Membership is small right now, around 400, so a couple of you with large teams could sweep.

Make me sustainable is a similar website with more emphasis on social networking than the team competition aspect. Think Facebook for the environment.
