I ran a scenario for what it would be if I downsized, and I went from 3.9 to 3.3.

What were your biggest impacts? I'm just curious, because you definitely seem to be a simpler-living person than I am.
I drive something like 1630 miles a month. I don't recycle at all. I think those two issues really dinged me. I also eat a fair amount of fish and poultry, so I think they got me on that too.
