Well, I guess that depends on whether you employ a means or ends-based criteria for determining it. Insofar as making changes in how I live my life for the express purpose of minimizing my carbon footprint, nope, don't care one damn bit. Insofar as my life represents an infintesimally small carbon footprint compared to some hypocrite like Al Gore, then clearly I must care far more than he does!

Junk Mail consist of maybe .0005% of paper usage...not quite get the job done.
