AzSustainability’s very own James Towner is featured in an article on the front page of the AZ Republic today in a brief interview about Carbonrally.com.

You can read the article online here.  He was interviewed earlier in the week with a few questions about why he is a part of Carbonrally, where he heads up the Arizona team, and what sort of challenges he has taken on.  The Republic photographer came by yesterday to take photos of James and I with our laundry hanging out to dry.  He was very nice and super fast.  Luckily they went with the picture of him alone as the ones of us together felt like the strangest engagement photos ever (us looking at each other lovingly over hanging laundry! Appropriate for the eco-geeks that we are, I suppose.)

Carbonrally has been a great incentive to us both.  We were already making more environmentally friendly choices - recycling, eating less meat (or in my case none at all), using reusable cups in place of disposable, shorter showers, upping the a/c temp, etc.  The appeal of Carbonrally is that it gives you some structure and actual feedback on what those decisions do.  It is a reminder and helps you stay accountable and on track. How much CO2 can you save by making these changes?  They are small on their own but when you put them together you can make a big difference.
