Randy, you've been here...the back of my place is an evergreen island for tweeties, squirrels, etc. The lawn? It's there as a natural firebreak in case... I lost a couple of trees & some limbs in the last windstorm...for obvious reasons, I like trees far enough from the house to not cause damage. Now as far as fossil fuels? All our rigs combined travel less than 10,000 miles per year.
Then I toss in the fact that most of the airborn mercury and other pollutants in this planet's air comes from Red China...coal burning plants? Well, screw the Kyoto accord! Let ALGOR sue Red China, force it to change it's ways....If you ask me, the USA does, and is doing more than most when it comes to living "green".
The trees on my property? I planted 'em all...several decades ago. This place was rocky nothing when we moved here.
