Whose Carbon Footprint Is the Smallest?

From Marie Claire (the things I do for you, gentle reader):

Guess who is earth-friendly and whose carbon footprint is to blame for drowning polar bears and worse: Is it the mountain maven, the globe-trotter, or the urban hipster? It’s not who you think. How do you stack up?

1. THE URBAN HIPSTER
“I eat out way too much. I drink bottled water. I do the club scene a lot. Am I busted?” —Nikea, 29, public defender

2. THE MOUNTAIN MAVEN
“Even my cappuccino maker and hair dryer are solar-powered.” —Melissa, 33, land-conservation program manager

3. THE GLOBE-TROTTER
“I’ve never learned how to drive. I always use public transportation.” —Josie, 26, marketing manager
