Apparently, this includes pollution.
According to this Associated Press article, Texas is the No. 1 producer of carbon emissions. As the article points out, maybe this is because of Texans’ fondness for enormous vehicles. What do you think?
If Texas was its own country (not so hard to imagine!), it “would rank seventh in the world” for carbon emissions. That’s a lot of carbon.
And this report raises even more concerns.
This is something Oklahomans should keep an eye on since Texas is our big brother to the South.

I want to know how you reduce your emissions - do you do anything special we can learn from, or maybe you think reducing emissions individually won’t make a difference. If so, why? Leave a comment and let others know your tips or beliefs.

Texas is one of the most productive states, and produces huge quantities of food for the rest of us.
On the other hand, Angola produces nothing useful, can barely feed or stop killing their own people, and has a low per capita carbon output.
That makes Angola a wonderful country, and Texas an evil state.

If you live in Texas and are looking to offset your carbon emissions with a Texas company check out BeGreen, the carbon offset division of Green Mountain Energy. The emissions of Texans may be high, but for some of us our commitment to the environment is even higher. If we all live within our environmental means small steps like offsetting your carbon footprint can make a huge difference!
