I haven't seen An Inconvenient Truth yet, so I don't know if Al Gore covers this, but it looks like one of the biggest contributors to global warming is the food we eat and the processes that give us that food.
According to this press release from the Bon Appetit Management Company, "the average American creates 2.8 tons of CO2 emissions each year by eating - even more than the 2.2 tons each person generates by driving." The company is pushing a "Low Carbon Diet" and trying to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The first "Low Carbon Diet Day" will be held next April.
So the moral to the story? Just stop eating completely and drive your car more, you selfish jerks!

I think you're missing the whole point, which is to eat locally grown foods!

Go vegan. You'll reduce your carbon impact more than if you bought a prius.

Do yourself a favor and watch "An Inconvenient Truth."
The moral of the story is, in fact, "Take Care of Your Mother Nature."

Just for the sake of science and because I'm a skeptic at heart; do yourself a favor and watch:

By the way I agree with the eat local comment, spot on mate.
