Thats a great question. It must be immense. Most electricity in the US comes from coal burning plants, which are extremely harmful to our environments. Not to mention all the crap in computers themselves...our screens containing thousands of toxic chemicals, laptops with capacitors made of tantalum...I suppose it goes on and on.
Was just curious how many people would be willing to make what seems like quite a small change in their driving habits in order to make a large change in our environment.
