Seattle&#x27;s emissions per person are <i>up</i>?! C&#x27;mon, Seattle. I&#x27;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&#x27;s a better one: outrageous house prices mean people are moving further out and driving more, let alone being close enough to bike&#x2F;walk to work.<p>I&#x27;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&#x2F;0C I don&#x27;t want to dump a single track vehicle (bicycle&#x2F;electric scooter&#x2F;motorcycle) on black ice like I did last year. We&#x27;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&#x27;t tell me personal emissions are up, we&#x27;re running out of ideas. :-)
