i stumbled upon a great website that has a calculator for measuring usage of carbon. they are challenging people to use 10% of the us average. when i plugged in the numbers, i came up with:
R4A Calculator summary:
Transport: 17%
Elec: 32%
H&C: 88%
Trash: 3%
Water: 21%
Goods: 16%
Food: 50% local, 25% dry, 25% wet
i may be off on a few of these as i had to guess on a few of the numbers (trash, transport, goods, food) since i didn't have receipts for those numbers but i estimated them high i think for us. also, the propane usage and wood usage i may have overestimated too.
the 7 categories page was a great resource for breaking down the different carbons we use and explains in further detail how to rate yourself on these things.

fun but difficult to judge.
most of our goods purchases are investments in the farm kinda stuff. tabitha might answer this completely different.
