Learning your approximate carbon shoe size is the first step. Everything you do that is powered by fossil fuels has a carbon dioxide cost, and it adds up--a bit like credit card debt.

Even something as small as an iPod Nano will add to your carbon footprint, thanks to both...

One in five suffers from major depression or posttraumatic stress, says a new Rand Corp. study; more than 300,000 have suffered traumatic brain injury.
