4. I had the realization...

That I personally hadn’t bought more than a half dozen tanks of gasoline for my car since March of 2019. That was shocking because prior to that I would fill up approximately three times per week.

Now I only drive to situations which require my physical presence.

Granted I get quite a few deliveries. Even counting those, my carbon footprint is a fraction of what it once was. I am rarely the only customer receiving goods on one of these runs. That has happened twice over two and a half years. Once due to a mis-click in a shopping app and another time a district manager brought my order out in a cute little UPS truck. The second I think is because she wanted to get the hell out of the office and that was as good of an excuse as any.
