How environmentally aware are you in your life?

Environmental issues is at the top of the news agenda in the UK today. That got me thinking about how environmentally aware the average person is these days and how willing we are to adjust our lives. For example, I don't drive so that must do something for my carbon footprint and I recycle whenever I can. However, if I am honest, no matter how much people are putting on the pressure about flying I am not going to stop it and I think lower priced flights have a cultural benefit that is often overlooked in favor of environmental causes. So, while I do care about the environment and I try to do what I can I know that in my own life I am not as willing to adjust things, such as flying, that I probably should do if I really want to make a difference.

How environmentally aware are you in your real life and what lengths are you willing to adjust your lifestyle to be more aware?
