Lifelong environmentalist and Bas Clas founder Steve Picou will give a one-hour presentation on Jan. 23 at the Southside Library on “How to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint.” A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact that groups, corporations, and individuals have on the environment and on climate change. Picou’s presentation will detail how it all relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our daily lives through burning fossil fuels used in electricity, heating, and transportation. In addition, Picou will also address the economic implications and opportunities these threats create for humanity.
“How to Reduce your Carbon Footprint” - Steve Picou 1 p.m. Southside Library? - South Regional Meeting Room 6101 Johnston Street, Lafayette 981-1028?

Haiti is getting off to a good start on controlling its carbon foot print. Estimated 200,000 people dead. Wonder if Picou is excited about that . Haiti, a vacation mecca for the environmental's . Maybe Picou should consider moving to Port-au-Prince. Teach those people how to better manage their new carbon foot print status...

Plumpy,
You know nothing about Steve. You a troll. You give ignorance a bad name.

If he wants to help people "reduce their carbon footprint", that's fine with me. If people freely decide to reduce their carbon footprint, great. The question is, should government be able to step in and force people to do it? Should government be able to even "encourage" or "persuade" people to do it? That's the difference between despotism and liberty.
