Shrink Your Waistline to Shink Your Footprint
Here's something to think about- heavier people have a larger carbon footprint. If two people are the same height and do the same things overall, the heavier person will have a larger carbon footprint. It will take more power for your car to move you around, which will use up more gasoline. And, theoretically, heavier people would be eating a bit more, adding to food miles, production, etc. It's an interesting thing to add to your reasons to lose weight and something I hadn't considered before.
If you combine some things like walking or biking instead of using the car and eating more locally produced vegetables you'll be accomplishing green goals and hopefully, losing some weight in the process.
