    Default Yahoo Green

    Yahoo Green looks like a really cool site. It lists a ton of minor lifestyle changes you can make (most of which are pretty frugal as well), and it automatically calculates how many tons of carbon dioxide per year that you would save by doing those things.

    Unless I'm not using it right, it seems your plan only shows the CO2 you can save by what you PLAN to do, but there are so many things on that list I already do, so if they're not in my upcoming plan they don't count?

    I included the things I already do to see the total amount I am saving compared to the "average" person.

    I used to have a Yaris ten years ago when it first came out in Europe -- LOVED that car!! Do you have kids? I'm asking cause I've been wondering if the backseat is big enough for car seats. Yaris is so much cheaper than a hybrid, Toyotas last a LONG time and the gas consumption is super.
