While I agree that would be the more environmental solution. However I highly doubt it's effectiveness would be the same as an in person meet. Either way, why does this make his message any less important?

I cycle to work 12 months of the year. The days I don't ride (in the last 6 months, I've taken the bus twice), I take the bus. Our family got rid of the second vehicle and drive a fuel efficient 4 cylinder car. We reuse and recycle. And I'll put my carbon footprint up against Gore's any day of the week.

I wasn't meaning personal carbon footprints. I was meaning that since Gore has spread his message to millions of people his collective effort would completely out weight yours. And I don't mean to take anything away from what your doing, which is excellent by the way.
