In practical terms what difference would it make? Someone else would
have my job. I have to bank somewhere. BofA isn't going to suffer
if I close my account. My husband needs those prescriptions. And
the SUV? I suppose I could get a smaller one, but I need that AWD
to get out of my driveway in the winter to go to my job.

I did refrain from putting any more people on this planet, so I'm
way ahead there. I probably could idle my SUV in the driveway
all day long and still come out ahead on my planetary impact.
