Seattle's emissions per person are <i>up</i>?! C'mon, Seattle. I'm just guessing, but maybe all the bike nuts that are going to ride to work already moved here, and the n00bs drive. Or here's a better one: outrageous house prices mean people are moving further out and driving more, let alone being close enough to bike/walk to work.<p>I'm only surprised because, personally, we had a less-than-average footprint to begin with, and have been whittling at it since. I only drove the electric car this morning because at 32F/0C I don't want to dump a single track vehicle (bicycle/electric scooter/motorcycle) on black ice like I did last year. We're replacing the 30 year old furnace with a heat pump next week (most efficient I could buy). We insulated the attic this summer. We rarely fly anymore. Don't tell me personal emissions are up, we're running out of ideas. :-)
