Maybe I and others can help -- I wasn't familiar with the Net Impact at Berkeley, though I believe we also have a Net Impact down here :) Are you involved with NI Berkeley?

I wasn’t familiar with the Net Impact at Berkeley, though I believe we also have a Net Impact down here :) Are you involved with NI Berkeley?

That means that someone who walks everywhere could get a higher Earth-count than someone who rides the bus over 100 miles each month. Public transportation is a good idea, obvs, (and the bus runs no matter how many people are on it, so using it doesn't really have an impact unless it is replacing another mode of transportation), but it seems like it's taking a pop-green/crunchy approach rather than a realistic one.
