So how does that work, do you have to fill up your car twice from 2 different pumps?<br /><br />But what a great move away from oil, almost. Creating fuel from corn? Wow, this is the way forward in our global fight against climate change.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5972500595956830936-9065498518269975923?l=carbon-footprint.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andy Montgomeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09454686914817829369noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5972500595956830936.post-66551856413153291932007-03-16T20:51:00.000+01:002007-03-16T20:57:43.981+01:00Our household recently changed from using oil to a wood pellet heating system. The wood pellets are much cheaper, don't smell and much cleaner for the environment. We didn't really have any thoughts about carbon footprints or any other eco issues at the time but now we're really glad we have made a small difference.<br /><br />Our food waste is collected fortnightly but now I'm thinking it might be better to just shove all the food into some kind of compost container and plough it into the garden.<br /><br />If anybody has any fresh ideas or comments about reducing their carbon footprint then please write them down here.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Andy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5972500595956830936-6655185641315329193?l=carbon-footprint.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andy Montgomeryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09454686914817829369noreply@blogger.com0
