Not that that's justification for spewing out aviation fuel, but I might hire an electric car. Love a US road trip.

But more realistically, I'll be sat at home watching from the sofa
A lot of people in Shetland grow their own veg to save the planet in big PLASTIC polycrubs and they drive back and fore from the rural areas in to Town to buy seeds, bags of soil etc. Works out at around £5 per-carrot too, not that these types are able to carry out some basis calculations. But they do feel virtuous, which is the main thing.
