   The staff at Costa Coffee in Faro AirPort departure lounge now greet me as a regular. Wow!

   (I would take the train if it existed. I buy a fuckton of carbon offsets)

     @goatsarah from what I've read, there's not much difference between a packed long distance flight and all those people driving the same distance one per vehicle. It's going really far that consumes tons of carbon.

     I hope that keeping my car travel to a minimum does something to offset the yearly transatlantic flight to see my family. I'm able to do just about everything except medical appointments and buying gardening supplies by foot or bike here, which wasn't feasible in the US. (Designing towns to be accessible for non-drivers goes so much farther than treating transport as an individual choice, I think.)

     @legumancer At least I drive electric, and our power grid is majority renewable.

     @ajlanes Yeah. That one was close to carbon neutral!
